First Aid Tips
The Scouting Association has extra first aid requirements for leaders. While our Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid covers core skills, including child CPR, scout leaders also need awareness of meningitis, sepsis, and dental emergencies. We provide factsheets, an online test, and a supplementary certificate to meet these requirements.
