Scout First Aid Competition

Tim Hague has kindly agreed to run a First Aid competition for Scouts on the Saturday of the District Camp (13 June). The rules of the competition will be as follows:-

1/
Teams to consist of 4 - 6 members aged 10 years to 15th birthday on the date of the competition.

2/
The order in which teams will judged will be drawn prior to the competition and groups will be notified as to what time their team(s) need to arrive at the training hut.

3/
Each team will be allowed a maximum time of 15 minutes to deal with the first aid incident set by the judge(s).

4/
Team captain(s) to be nominated prior to the competition.

5/
All first aid equipment will be provided (bandages etc.) but teams might find it
useful to have a pen and paper handy.

7/
The competition will be assessed on the first aid principles and techniques from the authorised manual of the British Red Cross Society, St. John Ambulance and the St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association (9th edition).

P.S.
Tim has asked us to find two volunteers to act as casualties for the competition. They will require old clothing that may be cut or torn? Would any of our Explorers be willing to do this?
