The purpose of the First Aid Meet is to use healthy competition to show the base first aid skill level of the units in our District and Council. The scoring is used to show unit leaders where their Scouts need improvement. See below for more information:

• The First Aid Meet will be held rain or shine!
• Check in at the Citizens Fire Company of Gordon will start at 3:00pm and the meet will start promptly at 3:30pm. It will go to approximately 5:00PM – please note that this time may change due to the number of patrols participating.
• Patrols must have no fewer than 4 and no more than 8 youth. A mix of older and younger youth is encouraged.

  • Each youth should also have a small personal first aid kit containing the essentials that you would need on a hike.
• The Scouts BSA Handbook and First Aid Merit Badge book are permitted, although the patrol may get one (1) point deducted for every time they have to reference the books.
• Patrols will be given separate scenarios and must complete treating the victim the best they can within 15 min.
• Patrols will be judged up to twenty (20) points per scenario, the number of scenarios will depend on the number of units.
