"You may look at this thread and think Boy Scouts and zombie survival what do they have to do with each other?! Well being a Boy scout myself I have relized that boy scouting is very helpful in learning survival skills because it teaches three main main lessons:
Survival(duh)
Resourcefulness
First Aid

All of these have taught me a great deal on how to survive. Now here is what I want to know. What do you think, do you agree or disagree with me if so why?

But for those who want the skills, there are plenty for requirements and many merit badges you can do, here's some that I did : First Aid, Emergency Prep, wilderness survival, riflery, shotgun shooting, leather working, swimming, camping...those are just some but there are many many more I have not done that are neat and could be helpful, for example my brother did one I think was either smithing or Iron working (can't remember the name)...but yes, many things you learn in Scouts are going to stick with you for life, so those on the site here who are still young shoudl definately give it a try"
