The aims of First Aid are: · Preservation of life
· Prevention of deterioration in the casualty’s condition
· Promotion of recovery
First Aid is the initial care of a casualty or casualties before the emergency services arrive.
TRAINING - Within the Scout Association, every Leader should complete some form of First Aid Training in conjunction with Module 10 of the Leader Training programme (If you have a valid Certificate of First Aid, you do not have to undertake Scout First Response Training just show your Certificate to your Training Advisor).
All First Aid Training qualifications last for 3 years, after which time it must be refreshed.
BADGES - If the person is under the age of 18, then the appropriate Staged Activity badge on First Aid (1-5) must be worn (Only one at any one time). For Adults (Over 18), if the organisation with whom you passed your first aid qualification has a badge available for that level, then that badge should be worn on the right sleeve of your uniform. If the organisation with whom you passed your qualification does not have an appropriate badge, then the Scout Association Green First Aid Badge should be worn. Participating or passing a Scout First Response Course does not qualify or entitle you to wear any badges on your uniform. This is a pity because our District believe all training should be acknowledged.
