201-First Aid Bandages

Learning Objectives

As a result of this experience, each participant should be able to:

• Complete advancement requirement F7a
• Construct and use the bandages for the head, upper arm, sprained ankle and
• collarbone.

Materials Required

• Bandages for above (One set for each injury)
• Two ‘victims’ for game.

Discovery

Fix up a scout (or better an Assistant Scoutmaster) with all the bandages above. Allow the scouts to laugh and ask questions. Ask each if they have seen bandages like this before, and if they know how to tie them.

Teaching-Learning

1. Go over, with a victim, the following bandages:
   1. Head
   2. Upper arm
   3. Sprained ankle
   4. Collar Bone.
2. Allow scouts to practice for a few minutes.
3. Tell scouts that they will use these skills on this month’s outing.

Application: Bandage Relay

Divide the patrol into two teams. Provide patrols with a list of bandages. At the signal (“Go”) one member of each team will run forward and apply the first bandage to the ‘victim.' It must be certified correct. Then the next member does the second one and so on. The first team finished wins.
