Dan,

The closest BSA comes to a PSK is the "You Can Survive"



They sell them out of the catalog and at the Boy Scout Store at Thomas and Hwy 51. They cost about $12.00. The best, affordable, PSK is the Ritter PSP.

The Boy Scouts have a Wilderness Survival merit badge. I have the book and my son earned the merit badge. There is a PSK item list.

It seems that if Scouts were required to have a PSK when they go camping that it might help some survive. I know there have been lost Scouts in the news over the last few years.
