Survival Skills Training to Scout Youths
The success story of knowing survival skills from news where two boys lost their way and could made up using survival skills inspired me to take this project.
That is danger it poses to youth due to nature of work youths do and location of community...i.e... youths go deep in the forest to collect firewood, cane shoots, and other raw materials. in doing so there is a high risk that they may get themselves lost in woods. So this project will help youths to survive in such situations.
