What is the course?
This course satisfies the minimum requirements that Leaders, Managers and Supporters are required to obtain as part of completion of their Wood Badge, and at all times thereafter. Following transformation, it will be a requirement that all adult volunteers in section teams maintain a current first aid qualification. It is also suitable for Young Leaders, satisfying the requirements of Module K, First Aid Masterclass.
The course aims to provide Members with simple first aid information which is relevant to their role, helping Members build confidence and skills in coping with emergency and first aid situations by equipping Members with the knowledge needed to manage such emergencies.
