The various programs of the Boy Scouts stress being prepared.  Most people think we mean being prepared for emergencies, and that is part of it.  We also mean being prepared for live in general.

During these tumultuous economic times, it is interesting to note that Scouts are taught fiscal management as part of earning their Eagle rank.  They are being prepared to become fiscally responsible adults.   The boys have to discuss and understand financial principles with a banker or broker.  Boys are not expected to learn this just for Eagle, but are taught throughout the Cub program about saving their money.

Did you know that Scouts also teaches the boys how to be an adult that is not dependent on their parents?  How to cook, clean, and wash cloths are all part of this.  While being prepared for an emergency is what you may first think of, it is also being prepared to be a great person.
