Citizenship in the World is an Eagle-required merit badge. It is also good knowledge every-one should have about how governments work and what the major international political organizations, such as the UN, are. This short book is written to help merit badge counselors teach the BSA’s “Citizenship in the World" merit badge. Because of that, it includes much of the basic text of the merit badge requirements. Not every section of the merit badge is discussed because youth don't have to do every single item. Some are options (e.g., complete two of three items). Scouts will still need to do some research and activities on their own.

Being a new parent or leader in Cub Scouts or Scouts BSA can be overwhelming. There is so much information out there, it can be hard to know where to start. This book provides an overview, starting with places to find help and BSA's organizational structure. Training, uniforms, recharter, transitioning from Webelos in Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA, and much, much more are all covered. This book will help you to be prepared! (It is the Scout Motto, after all.)

Getting started as Cubmaster can be hard. The outgoing Cubmaster may, or may not, have trained you well. I know I was completely, utterly clueless when I was dumped into the role, and it has taken me a long time to be comfortable with it. But here's the most important thing: have fun with it. If the kids see you are having fun, they'll have fun too, and their parents will be happy. "Cubmastering: Getting Started as Cubmaster" tells you what you need to focus on as Cubmaster. It isn't recharter or the pack budget, it's the program side - what the boys actually DO - and it can be a lot of fun. Too much worrying ruins that! This is written to help you, as a new Cubmaster, feel comfortable in your job.Think of this as a few Pow Wow or University of Scouting classes in a book.

There are a lot of books about surviving the apocalypse. In reality, ordinary events like a car breaking down, a broken furnace, a storm or a severe allergic reaction are far more likely to test your survival skills. 26 Basic Life Skills teaches the basic skills other books assume you know including following a recipe, dressing for the weather, food safety, cleaning, basic first aid, and simple sewing. From situational awareness and trusting your instincts to preserving food and safe knife use, the skills 26 Basic Life Skills covers are useful in real life and emergencies. How prepared are you?

I struggled with adding this book to the Survival Skills series because I just wasn't sure it fit. Finally,I decided that my son was right. Understanding and following a diet that helps reduce allergy symptoms can be a survival skill. In an emergency, medicines including anti-histamines might be hard to find. A low histamine diet could actually be a simpler approach. The first chapters explain OAS and what is known about how histamines in food impact our bodies. In this new area of study, there are a lot of unknowns and poorly knowns. I am not any kind of medical professional (or chef) so please talk to your doctor before even thinking about following this diet, even in an emergency. (I am not a medical professional.)

Big things are happening in Grantville since the whole town was sent through time and space to war-torn seventeenth-century Germany, and up-timer nursing student Krystal Reed isn't handling it very well. She never wanted to live in Grantville and being sent back to the seventeenth century just makes it worse. Working with doctors who think bleeding is a legitimate medical practice and that women have no business in medicine is exasperating, to say the least-but their prejudices are no match for the new medical programs in Grantville and Jena. Now if only she can recover from losing her parents, her friends, her home, her college, and her future. Nils Jorgensen and his family are just a few of the thousands of down-timers looking for a new future in Grantville. They arrive with little more than their skills. Through hard work, the Jorgensens start a fashion empire. For people like elderly Irene Flannery, life is more about smaller, personal issues. With no family left up-time, her biggest worry now that's she's in the seventeenth century is having a married curate at the Catholic church. (The scandal!) But she has kept a secret since FDR was President and she'll defend her rose bushes to the death because of it.

After traveling through time and space from the year 2000 in West Virginia to 1631 in Germany, the town of Grantville faces many challenges. The biggest is finding enough food, medicine, and other supplies to stay alive and healthy while helping their new German neighbors and a constant flow of refugees do the same. Working together, they grow and gather enough food for everyone, but it's not quite what anyone is used to eating. The Germans view potatoes as animal food, unfit for human consumption, and not all the Grantvillers can accept that even small children drink beer instead of water. With the expert advice of the Grantville Cooking Club, up-time and down-time cooking is combined to create a new cuisine and to jump-start more than a few new restaurants and businesses.\nMeanwhile, regular life continues. How do you keep going when you know that your child, or spouse, will die because life-saving medicine or surgery isn't available in 1631? How do you cope with watching them slowly die from something that was curable in the world you came from? Greg Ferrara, Linda Bartolli, and Phillip Bartolli are forced to face these questions when the Ring of Fire happens weeks before Tina is scheduled for lifesaving surgery that, like her life-saving medication, is no longer available.
