Friendly reminder to check your first aid kits.
It might seem boring and time-consuming, but it's important to make sure you know what's in them, that everything is there that should be, and that nothing is expired (especially anything sterile).
This Arrow of Light First Aid den meeting plan focuses on hands-on learning 🚑 Scouts practice treating bleeding, choking rescue, shock, and minor injuries through active stations.
They also build a small first aid kit and talk about how these skills connect to being Helpful and Prepared. By the end of the meeting, Scouts feel more confident and ready to respond in common emergency situations ⚜️
