First aid

Leaders, managers and supporters in scouting must hold a current first aid qualification at the time of gaining their wood badge and at the appointment renewal. However, they are encouraged to keep their qualification up to date at all times. 

The minimum standard for this qualification is first response, but higher levels of qualification are needed if delivering first aid training or leading certain kinds of adventurous activities. This provision will ensure a minimum standard of first aid knowledge and training across the Movement.

More information on first response requirements and equivalents can be found on our first aid and first response pages.
