ShakeOut Scouting Patches:

We are glad to announce that “The Great California ShakeOut 2010 Participant” patch will be available to scouts for this year’s Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill. This year's patch requirements have been simplified based on the experience of the 2008 and 2009 drills.

To receive the 2010 ShakeOut Patches scouts must complete the following:

1. Participate in a troop meeting on earthquake preparedness before the ShakeOut date, in which you cover the content in the ShakeOut Meeting Outline document and complete the Scouting Earthquake Preparedness Worksheet. Troop Instructors (either adults or scouts) will need to plan this meeting for the troop.


2. Register your troop and participate in the Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill on October 21, 2010. As most scouts will be in school at the time of the drill, they may participate separately and then again as a troop later in the day or another day that week.

Ordering patches

To order your ShakeOut 2010 Participant patches please identify one adult to be your troop’s ShakeOut representative. The representative will verify each scouts’ participation in the troop’s ShakeOut meeting and the October ShakeOut drill using the Verification and Patch Ordering Form.

Mail the Verification and Patch Ordering Form and any final Registration and Tracking forms by November 30, along with a check payable to the University of Southern California for $1 per patch.

All forms and checks will be mailed to the following address:

Earthquake Country Alliance
3651 Trousdale Parkway, Suite 169
Los Angeles, CA 90089
Fax: 213-740-0011

When we verify your order, we will mail your representative the patches.

Thank you for participating in The Great California ShakeOut!
