(FS140048) (Published August 2020, replacing October 2012)

Note: It should be noted that the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and Regulations made under it do not normally apply to Scouts activities (only to employees working on Scouts property or where we are controllers of premises). The recommendations and guidelines below are based on good practice and are provided for the wellbeing of members.

This guidance is for the use of first aid kits for section meetings and nights away, some adventurous activities and expeditions may require specialist first aid kits.
