As part of the Merit Badge, they learned how to perform CPR and use an AED ...
On both infants AND adults ...
Perform the Heimlich Maneuver ...
Provide first aid for burns - cuts - frost bite - poisonous plants and insects ...
Affix a tourniquet ...
Splint a broken bone ...
Transport an amputated joint (or limb)....
Assemble a proper first aid kit.
And so, so much more!
We had a full 9-hour day of instruction with Mr. Larry Clark and Mr. Harry Brown, both were outstanding (we would highly recommend this training center - and instructors - everything was great!). While we hope that we never have to use these skills, should the need arise, our Scouts are that much more capable of fulfilling the Scout Oath of helping people at all times...
And the Scout Motto: Be Prepared!
