Learning wilderness first aid

Gus isn’t really injured. That gash on his hand was drawn on so it would be obvious what needed to be bandaged.

Scouts design their own program

Wondering how these first aid concepts actually work in real life, scouts designed a campout where their skills would be put to the test.

Scouts designed situations where a scout was injured and needed to be treated in the field. Their locations were plotted out on a map and scouts needed to use a Nobscot Scout Reservation map and a compass to find them. Scouts then arrived to treat their fellow scouts’ imaginary injuries — often drawn out on their arms — and get them safely to a location where they could get professional medical attention.
