Weekly Recap 10/5/15

Last night’s meeting touched on first aid and germs. This is a topic which will be covered several times throughout the year in a number of ways. It will be discussed when we go over hiking requirements, camping requirement, and more.  Each scout made a personal first aid kit (baggie style) where they went over the basic contents and their use. This showed the scouts that a little extra preparedness can help out and not be cumbersome.  This was followed up with a discussion and a game that demonstrates how easily germs spread and how a single persons germs can make their way around the room and infect most, if not all, people in it.  The evening was ended with a Germ Song and a repeat after me campfire song

Not each rank has requirements to cover this but it is important information and useful for scouts of all ages. The more they hear it and practice it the better they will get.

Requirements covered last night were as follows:

• Wolves
  • Call of the Wild 5c,
  • Germs Alive!: 2
• Webelos 1 & Webelos 2
  • First Responder: 5a
  • Webelos Walkabout: 2
