Requirement
1. What safety is, and what a hazard is
Required
Two parts of definition, and 1(b) is the idea the two building inspections later on are an exercise in.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This badge has been rewritten more completely than most. The 2025 requirements book's version is built round a notebook of collected newspaper and internet articles, a safety project approved by your counselor, five emergency action plans for activities outside the home, and the National Terrorism Advisory System, and NONE of those are on the current page. Requirements 6 and 8 here are not in the book at all. If you are working from a printed book, check the official page first.
