The Ultimate Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse: Be Prepared (To Run)

"Be Prepared." For over a century, that has been the motto of Scouts worldwide. It is a promise to face the wilderness, the unexpected, and the dangerous with courage, resourcefulness, and a sturdy knot.

But what if the wilderness comes to town? What if the unexpected is a viral outbreak that reanimates the dead?

Hollywood has given us plenty of entertainment with the 2015 film Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, but that movie was heavy on gross-out gags and light on survival tactics. If you want to actually survive the undead horde, you don’t need a foul-mouthed friend with a shotgun; you need a Merit Badge in Applied Necrology. scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse

This is the real Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. Forget the movie. Grab your handbook, tighten your neckerchief, and let’s talk about how the three R’s (Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness) turn into the three B’s (Bludgeon, Barricade, Bug-out).

Part 4: Navigation Without GPS

The cities will burn. The highways will be parking lots of wrecked sedans. The Scout knows how to move through the wilderness, not around it.

The "Green Highway" Strategy:

• Follow the power lines: They lead from rural areas to suburban outskirts, avoiding major population centers.
• Use handrails: In navigation, a "handrail" is a feature you follow (a river, a ridge, a fence). In the apocalypse, follow railroad tracks. They are raised (giving you sight lines), straight, and usually lead to small towns with hardware stores.
• Pace Counts: For every 100 meters, mark a stone in your pocket. When you have 100 stones, you’ve gone 10km. This prevents you from walking in circles in the fog or at night.

Warning: Never use a flashlight on a trail. You will attract the horde. Use your peripheral vision (night adapted) or a red-light filter. A Scout moves like a shadow.

Part 10: The Zombie Apocalypse Badge

To earn the unofficial Zombie Apocalypse Merit Badge, you must demonstrate the following: Part 4: Navigation Without GPS The cities will burn

1. Build a fire without matches using a bow drill while a timer (simulating a zombie) is 30 feet away and moving closer.
2. Tie a bowline around your waist in under 10 seconds (for lowering yourself off a roof).
3. Purify 1 liter of water using only a clear plastic bottle and sunlight (SODIS method).
4. Navigate 5 miles to a predetermined point using only a compass and a topographical map, avoiding "hot zones" (pre-determined infected areas).
5. Silently retrieve a "supply cache" (a bag of gummy bears) from a room guarded by a "zombie" (a blindfolded friend with oven mitts) without being tagged.
