Patrol Practices in First Aid

Training in first aid should be very thorough as the public expects much of Scouts.

Arrange surprise "accidents" during Patrol or Troop meetings, and let different Scouts take charge.

Introduce at odd moments such practices as: improvised stretchers, four-handed seat, artificial respiration, making splints for an injured limb.
