Be Prepared – while always associated with the Boy Scouts, this motto and way of life is now the focus of a major product release from the BSA. Headlining this launch is the Be Prepared book series from DK, beginning with Complete Wilderness Training, released April 2007. Though applicable to any outdoor enthusiast, these two new titles are a perfect match to the core Boy Scout values of outdoor activity, safety, and of course, preparation for life’s journeys. 

Teaching the basics of first aid through detailed instructions and full-color illustrations, this essential guide for anyone committed to safety includes responses for heat and circulatory problems; wounds and bleeding; bone, joint and muscular problems; nervous system injuries; and burns and animal bites. Also featuring life-saving techniques such as CPR, Be Prepared: First Aid counsels readers to contact medical help with severe injuries as well.
