Over the last few months based on feedback from the Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) the Scout Section have been working on their Emergency Stage 3 Adventures Skills badge. This has involved the scouts learning the various aspects of Stage 3 and then demonstrating that they have the required skills and knowledge through completing various scenarios such as treating a nose bleed, wasp sting, making a bandage from a neckerchief, a coat stretcher etc.

In order to complete Emergencies Stage 3 the Scouts must understand and be able to perform CPR. Our local First Responder Group, Athenry Community First Responder Group very kindly donated their free time to teach the Athenry Scouts CPR. This took place in our weekly meeting with the entire meeting devoted to CPR Training. A big thank you to the Athenry Community First Responder Group for donating their time and helping the Scouts learn CPR.

A full set of photographs are available.
