Safety - Do not become another Victim
This month the troop program has stress
first aid. We would not want the holiday
season to be spoiled by an accident,
and scouts want to be prepared to do
their best to help other people by
providing first aid if the opportunity
arises.
Our scouts practices their skills so they
will be ready to
lend able assistance to others and to
themselves.
Last week the Adult patrol presented a
skit in which a number of scouts ended
up in a life-threatening situation
having fallen though thin ice on a pond,
and no
one went to their rescue. (An
adult in a similar situation was
rescued, fortunately).
This was only a skit, but we should all
remember that the first rule for any
rescuer is not be become
another victim.
Is the situation is safe? How can a
rescue attempt be made less risky? What
backup is available if the responder has
trouble?
