Incidents and Illness

This guidance concerns the use of first aid kits for beaver scout sleepovers, family camps, cub scout camps, pack holidays and scout, explorer scout and scout network camps. You will need to have an accident book in your meeting place and a record should be kept of all accidents that occur.

Unfortunately, at some time in the life of many leaders or commissioners, it is likely that they will encounter an incident involving someone in the movement. Often the adults concerned are unaware of the steps which should be taken after first aid, rescue or other emergency treatment has been performed.
