First Aid
A Scout burns their hand on a hot camp stove. What is the very first thing you should apply to the burn?
Cool, running water
A Scout in your patrol is shivering uncontrollably, slurring their words, and acting confused on a cold, rainy hike. What environmental injury are they showing signs of?
Hypothermia
Why should you NEVER pull an arrow, stick, or knife blade out of a wound on a campsite if it is deeply embedded?
The object is acting as a plug holding pressure on cut blood vessels; removing it can cause rapid, severe bleeding.
You are hiking in high heat and a Scout stops sweating, has hot red skin, and becomes confused. How does this differ from simple heat exhaustion, and what action must you take?
It is Heat Stroke (a medical emergency); you must cool them down immediately with cold water/ice packs and call for emergency help.
