Where’s Your First Aid Kit During Meetings?
Posted by admin under: safety .
Scouter Jeff over at The Trainer’s Corner blog brings up a good pointregarding the unit first aid kit. Wait. Your unit does have a first aid kit, right? Something a little beefier than the 2 band-aids, roll of gauze, and pack of moleskin in your daypack, right?
Does your pack have a first aid kit? It’s a good idea to have one 
displayed prominently at each pack meeting or pack outing. You should also consider having a first aid kit at your den meetings. Unfortunately I had a Scout injured at a den meeting once, and I’m glad I had my first aid kit near by!
Now that we are enjoying the spring weather, springtime is a good time to go through your first aid kit and check for expired medicine, supplies that need refilling, etc. You can never have enough Band-Aids, so it’s a good idea to keep a good stock of those. (I was always partial to Hot Wheels or Spiderman bandages).
Hopefully you will never use one. But as Scouts we desire to “Be Prepared”, and a first aid kit should be stocked and ready to go as we go outside and enjoy our spring or summertime activities.
So, check on your kit and keep it out during your den, pack, and troop meetings as well as taking it along on your outings.
