Hunter & Scout's Poison Patrol

Did you know that children under the age of 6 are the most frequent victims of poisoning? Nearly half of the calls to poison centers involve children of this age and 90% of the exposures occur at a home. The good news is that most poisonings can be prevented, but we need your help!

The Hunter & Scout's Poison Patrol Program makes it easy and fun for teachers and caregivers to teach poison prevention to children. The program includes videos and classroom activities as well as educational materials for caregivers.

Thank you for joining and helping protect children and families from the threat of unintentional poisonings. Together, we can make a difference.

Program at-a-glance:

• Fun and educational poison prevention video and song (14 minutes)
