First aider badge

First aider badge

There is no badge available for the completion of the First Response course (6 hours) for volunteers.

Volunteers with an in date first aid qualification (16 hours course, also known as full first aid certificate) can wear a first aider badge on the left sleeve, as shown on the uniform diagram. This can either be the badge provided by the first aid training provider or the Scouts first aider badge available from Scout Store. Only one badge may be worn.

Full First Aid certificate

To fulfil the Full First Aid certificate requirements in POR, volunteers must hold a first aid qualification provided by a regulated body certifying their attendance of a 16 hours first aid course.

Examples of regulated providers include: St John Ambulance, The British Red Cross, British Canoeing, Mountain Training, etc.
