BASF Launches Safety Scouts Farm Safety Program

By Cotton Grower Staff|May 26, 2023

BASF is supporting a safe growing season in 2023 with the launch of the BASF Safety Scouts program for U.S. farm families.

The BASF Safety Scouts program supports children in learning about the value and importance of farm safety by providing safety kits to families free of charge. The kits provide an interactive and fun way to engage in learning about farm safety.

Two Safety Scouts kits are available. The Safety “Scout” kit is designed for children six years of age and younger. The Safety “Captain” kit activities are geared for children seven and older and promote additional safety tasks, including working with an adult to choose a designated “Safety Spot” meeting point on the farm.

Within each kit, Safety Scouts and Safety Captain participants will receive content catered toward farm safety and tailored for their respective age groups. The kits include:

An adjustable child-sized safety vest, compliant with safety standards
A customizable name badge
Safety-themed activity/coloring sheets
A safety pledge
A BASF Safety Scouts reward badge
An official BASF Safety Scouts participant certificate

The BASF Safety Scouts program will provide 2,000 kits to farm families throughout the U.S. free of charge, while supplies last. An additional 2,000 kits will also be available in Canada.
