Who needs first aid training
The first aid training delivered by Scouts - also known as First Response course - is required to most volunteers holding a leader, manager or supporter role, being part of the requirements for the Wood Badge.
You can find out the roles required to complete the first aid training by checking POR Chapter 16: Roles Table.
It should be completed in within the first three years of volunteering, and renewed every three years.
On the member's record on Compass, the expiry date will be three years from completion of module 10B.
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, St Andrew's First Aid, the British Red Cross, British Canoeing, Mountain Training, etc.
