Search and Rescue Badge - Online

While doing the requirements for the Search and Rescue badge, Scouts learn to safely participate in a SAR mission. They familiarize themselves with the terminology involved and the command structure. Scouts explore the differences between wilderness, urban, and water search and rescue missions. They investigate career opportunities related to SAR activities.

LIVE Online Badges are Open to all registered BSA Scouts in ANY Council.

Please read the description before registering.
