First Aid is a key skill for all adult volunteers and young people involved in scouting and everyone should have the opportunity to learn and continually develop this skill.
First Response is the scouts own First Aid course and forms part of the Growing Roots training pathway for adult volunteers.
Young people also have the opportunity to undertake First Aid training through the Emergency Aid Staged Awards and Explorer Scout Young Leader Module K.
