The NW Scouters' Club is a co-operative of Scout Troops. Representatives of member Scout Troops gather to share ideas and experience, plan joint activities, and pursue other projects of mutual benefit.
Seven Scouts and four Scouters took and passed the St. John Ambulance First Aid Course. Scouter Ted dropped by to give an energetic lesson on the importance of being heard, including some practice shouting.
Liam asked if anyone was interested in the St. John Ambulance Wilderness First Aid course. The course costs about $170 and fills a weekend [Liam learned after the meeting that the course fills two weekends or five days]. St. John Ambulance will run a course when they have received enough expressions of interest. Several Scouters were interested. Liam will communicate with St. John Ambulance about this.
Several people registered for the course at the meeting. Liam asked that any more registrations be handed directly to them soon.
Liam has arranged to have St. John Ambulance run a Standard First Aid course on May 5 and 6 at NWD Scouthouse. Any Scout or Scouter aged 13 or above may attend. The cost is $50 (it is normally $70). Please register your participants at the next Club meeting. This course completes the requirements for the First Aid challenge badge.
