You’re on a 10-mile hike and one of the younger scouts has just collapsed and appears unresponsive. What do you do? Luckily, once you have the Eagle-required, First Aid merit badge, you’ll be prepared to handle this type of emergency, as well as many others. If you’re following along with the merit badge worksheet, this guide will provide you with all the answers to the requirements needed to learn the First Aid merit badge. Afterward, you’ll be equipped to handle almost any medical emergency and have the ability to save lives. Grab some buddies! First Aid is most fun when completed as a group of scouts. Before we get started, if you have other Eagle-required merit badges to earn, I’d recommend checking out my Difficulty Ranking Guide to Every Eagle-required Badge. There, you’ll also find the links to my other merit badge guides, as well as a description and summary of each badge’s requirements. I’m certain this resource will be helpful to scouts on their road to Eagle. Also, remember that ScoutSmarts should just serve as your starting point for merit badge research. In school, we’re taught not to plagiarize, and the same is true for Scouting worksheets. Answer these questions in your own words, do further research, and I promise you’ll gain much more from every merit badge you earn. Before you dive into this merit badge, I’d highly recommend purchasing a reliable first aid kit to accompany you on your Scouting adventures. This Survival First Aid Kit on Amazon not only provides all of the medical equipment you’ll need, It can also help save your life if you’re stranded in the wild. Take your time to read through the official First Aid merit badge requirements below. This badge will take multiple days to earn, and an experienced scout always remembers to plan ahead. The slow and steady method isn’t just the best way to earn the First Aid merit badge, it’s the key to reaching your Eagle rank as well! ?? What Are The First Aid Merit Badge Requirements. Demonstrate to your counselor that you have current knowledge of all first-aid requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. Explain how you would obtain emergency medical assistance from: a. Your home b. A remote location on a wilderness camping trip c. An activity on open water Define the term triage. Explain the steps necessary to assess and handle a medical emergency until help arrives. Explain the universal precautions as applied to the transmission of infections.

With helpers under your supervision, improvise a stretcher and move a presumably unconscious person. Teach another Scout a first-aid skill selected by your counselor. Before we dive into the details, let’s discuss what exactly needs to be done before earning the First Aid merit badge. You’ll be required to explain, demonstrate, and act out many skills related to treating an injured person, which you’ll be learning in this guide. In the process, you’ll learn CPR, prepare your own first aid kit for emergencies and even improvise methods of transporting an injured person! 1) Demonstrate to your counselor that you have current knowledge of all first-aid requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. At the end of your merit badge workbook should be a section that recaps the first aid requirements for Tenderfoot through First Class. I’d like to help you to answer each of these, but there are more than 20 topics that should be covered, which would be too much to include in this guide. Here are the first aid answers for Tenderfoot. Luckily, you should already know most of the answers from your own Scouting experience. Take the time to review each first aid concept with your merit badge counselor. Explain how you would obtain emergency medical assistance from: 2a) Your home Calling 911 is the simplest and most effective way to reach emergency medical services from home. When speaking with a 911 dispatcher, immediately inform them of 4 things: The emergency: Use as much detail as possible to quickly describe the emergency. Instead of saying “my friend is unconscious” say, “My friend fell off a 6 ft ledge and hit his head. He’s breathing and not bleeding, but is currently unconscious, and has been for the last 3 minutes.” What’s currently happening: Is anyone performing CPR or taking first-aid measures. Quickly tell the dispatcher how the situation is being handled. Your location: Be as precise as possible when describing your location. Instead of saying an address or a school’s name, say, “I’m by the bleachers next to the football field of x school.” Send someone to meet with and guide the responders to you, if possible. Your phone number: EMS may need to call you back if they are unable to find you. In case your call disconnects, make sure to give the dispatcher the phone number that you’re currently calling from. Stay on the line until help arrives and be sure not to leave the victim unattended. Poison control can also be reached at 1-800-222-1222, but should only be called in poisoning instances which are not immediately life-threatening. If phones are unavailable, seek help from a neighbor. You do this by shouting, if possible, so as not to leave the victim unattended. 2b) A remote location on a wilderness camping trip Before embarking on any wilderness outing, be sure to inform a trusted adult of your plans. Tell them the trip’s location and expected duration so that in an emergency situation they will be able to contact and dispatch rescue services to you. Oftentimes, you will be able to contact emergency personnel by cell phone. However, if you are unable to do so but are relatively close to civilization, you should send people back in vehicles who will call for help from the nearest phone. If lost, do not leave your vehicle or campground. Larger objects are more likely to be found by rescue personnel. Signal fires should only be used as a last resort. Do not start a forest fire. If the boat can be moved, navigate it into more trafficked water and signal for help. Flying a flag upside down from a boat is also an international sign for distress, and should be done if no immediate rescuers are in sight. If rescuers are visible, signal to them by lighting flares, waving a brightly colored shirt, or by using smoke. 3) Define the term triage. Explain the steps necessary to assess and handle a medical emergency until help arrives. In a situation where multiple people are injured, triage refers to the process of determining the extent of each individual’s injuries, then prioritizing their order of treatment based on severity. Basically, you’ll assess how injured each of the victims are, then treat those with life-threatening injuries before those with minor injuries so that the most people can survive. There are different types of triage techniques, but they almost all rely on grouping patients into 3 main categories. Watch the video (6:09) below for an in-depth understanding of the SALT Triage system: To recap what you’ve just learned, triaging is done when there is insufficient medical personnel to ensure the most survivors. To properly triage, you must first assess the victim’s condition. Discuss the ways you should protect yourself and the victim while administering first aid. Contact with bodily fluids can lead to the transmission of bloodborne pathogens. These pathogens can cause you illness and infection. One should always treat bodily fluids with caution and use protective barriers to prevent contact, when possible. Never use your bare hands to prevent bleeding, as this could put both you and the victim at risk of infection. Make sure, after administering first aid, to safely disinfect or discard all contaminated items and thoroughly wash your hands with soap. To not infect others, biological waste should be put in designated receptacles or bagged twice before disposal. Do the following: 5 a) Prepare a first-aid kit for your home. Display and discuss its contents with your counselor. 5 b) With an adult leader. Inspect your troop’s first-aid kit. Evaluate it for completeness. Report your findings to your counselor and Scout leader. To learn about some of the the first aid essentials you’ll need in your home and vehicle, watch the following video (4:05): The picture below gives you an example of what you might typically find in a great first-aid kit. The Survival First Aid Kit I found on Amazon has all of these things and more, so I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a compact and dependable first aid kit. Below are the elements of a great first aid kit, with each item number corresponding to the item’s name: At the very least, the first aid kit you purchase should be equipped with: Bandages Gauze Pads Gloves Sting Relief Elastic Bandages Tweezers Antiseptic Wipes CPR Masks Moleskin Blister Covers Safety Pins You can check your troop’s first aid kit against this list to see if anything should be added. Remember to replace your first aid kit’s contents every few years, as most first aid supplies expire. Describe the early signs and symptoms of each of the following and explain what actions you should take: 6a) Shock Shock is your biological response to trauma and results in the weakening of blood flow throughout the body. This reaction can be caused by a variety of factors such as severe injury, dehydration, heart failure, allergic reaction, and blood loss. A person who is in shock will often have clammy skin, cold sweats, and paleness of skin. They will likely have difficulty taking full breaths and may faint unexpectedly. When treating shock, try to calm the victim. Have them lie down, and cover them with a blanket. If you notice that their head or feet are pale, elevate the area opposite of where they are low on blood. An easy way to remember this is that if the face is pale, raise the tail, and vice versa. Keep talking to the victim to reassure them, and note down any details around the emergency which could be useful to medical personnel. 6b) Heart attack Some of the early signs of a heart attack can be severe chest pressure, left arm pain, jaw pain, profuse sweating, gray skin coloring, nausea, difficulty breathing, or a feeling of weakness. You will be learning much more about heart attacks, as well to respond to them, in your upcoming CPR course. Without knowledge of CPR, you should immediately place the victim in a seated position with their knees raised and instruct someone nearby to call 911. An AED should also be used in the case of a halted pulse. Here is a quick and informative video (2:00) on the differences between a cardiac arrest and a heart attack, as these two are often confused: This video provides a great explanation but is from the UK.Call 911 in a medical emergency. (This video provides a great explanation but is from the UK.Call 911 in a medical emergency.) 6c) Stroke Strokes are caused by an interruption of blood flow supplied to the brain. Symptoms of a stroke can be recalled by the simple acronym, FAST: F ace drooping A rm weakness S peech difficulty T ime to call 9-1-1 While waiting for an ambulance, speak to the victim in a calm and reassuring manner. You can warm them with a blanket as well. However, do not provide them with food or water, as this can cause greater complications after the stroke’s onset. If they fall unconscious and are not breathing, be ready to perform CPR. Do the following: 7a) Describe the conditions that must exist before performing CPR on a person. Then demonstrate proper CPR technique using a training device approved by your counselor. While performing chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), you run the risk of using the technique ineffectively and further injuring your victim. Therefore, to gain an understanding of proper CPR technique, you should first complete the CPR certification program before trying to perform this on another person. Under no circumstances should you perform CPR unless the following conditions occur: The victim must be unresponsive (Ask, “are you okay?”) They must not be breathing (Ear over their mouth, propping chin up, to check for breathing (Important note as of 2020: The American Heart Association (AHA) now recommends that as soon as you see an emergency, immediately call for help. If, after checking with the victim (asking are you okay and feeling for air coming out of their lungs), they still appear non-responsive and unbreathing, begin CPR. If the rescuer is trained in CPR, they should give 2 rescue breaths, otherwise, continue with compressions Rescue breaths begin by tilting the victim’s head back and lifting the chin slightly to open the airway, then pinching the nostrils closed and giving 2 normal breaths, watching the victim’s chest rise and fall. Continuing the cycle of continued compressions or 30 compressions and two rescue breaths. ) Watch the following video (1:56) for a quick visual walkthrough on adult CPR: 7b) Explain the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Identify the location of the AED at your school, place of worship, and troop meeting place, if one is present. An automated external defibrillator, or AED, is used to save lives during sudden cardiac arrest. Most AEDs are equipped with audio or visual instructions for use but all AEDs generally work in the same way. The instructions are as follows: Turn on the AED and follow the prompts. Expose the victim’s bare chest, wiping it dry to later attach the AED patches. Attach the AED pads to the victim, plugging them into the connector if necessary. If the AED recommends resuscitation, ensure that no one is touching the person by saying “stand clear.” Once clear, press the “shock” button. Begin CPR after delivering the shock. If no shock is advised, begin CPR. Perform CPR while following the AED’s prompts. If they begin to breathe and show obvious signs of life, discontinue CPR and monitor for changes in condition.

Miles and at least a day’s hike from the nearest trailhead, what are you gonna do? If not, earn your First Aid merit badge ASAP — and read on for advice on assembling a useful first-aid kit filled with the right contents. The hard part is buying everything you need in small enough sizes to keep your first-aid kit light and compact. Understand what each item is used for so you’ll be prepared, and don’t hesitate to add additional items. For remote locations you’ll need to rely on your group’s resources, and your first-aid kit should be stocked with supplies to treat a much wider range of injuries or illnesses than for a day hike in the woods. Nothing takes the place of first-aid training, but it’s important to have a good manual that you can turn to in an emergency. Beyond that, you’ll want to include supplies to treat the most common outdoor injuries — stuff like moleskin for blisters, tweezers for splinters, bandages, antibiotic ointment and antiseptic towelettes for cuts and scrapes, ibuprofen for aches and pain, and antihistamines for allergic reactions. They’re heavy and only provide about 15 minutes of cold therapy. To properly treat a sprained ankle, you need to ice the injured area every 30 minutes. Use ice from a cooler, snow or cold water from a river or lake if you need to improvise. The only solution you need to clean wounds is clean drinking water or a dilute povidone-iodine solution if the wound is particularly dirty. Get into the habit of checking your first-aid kit before every outing. If any medicines and ointments have expired or have been used up, replace them. And make sure nothing is wet or spoiled. Many people, such as myself are highly allergic to latex. This can be downright deadly! It’s essentially roll gauze that sticks to itself, can be cut into strips for smaller areas (fingers especially) and keeps wounds protected from dirt better than anything on the market. Can be found at vet supply places (like tractor supply). A person can nearly bleed out while you make a field expedient tourniquet. Fast is better. Thank you for the post. Will share website with my good friends. I mean, do they really work well enough to use often? Another thing that I did a while back was buy a pre-owned kit and used the nice bag disin and storage areas to make it fit your own needs. In Southern USA the chance of find snow or ice, anywhere on a trail, might happen a couple months in a Season. Heat is a killer. Wrapped, the packs can be placed under arms and back of neck to help cool core temps, they’re not as cold as ice. If left in a hot vehicle or like situation they will become useless.We put all our first aid supplies in them. They fold flat and keep out water and other elements. What would I put in a First-Aid kit that small? If you use a rubber band to keep it closed you can fit a small tube of antibiotic ointment inside. Being round, tape fits in it easily and the tape center holds small asprin containers perfectly.This way the boys can personalize their kits to their needs. The Troops EMT bage covers the big stuff.
