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!

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?

Self-Help

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.)
