A well-trained scout is a ready scout. Being prepared for situations in which first aid training is required is a sign of a good scout. Whether in the wilderness outdoors or a large city, situations will come up where a first aid kit accompanied with thorough training may make the difference between life and death. Safety is a major training portion of the Scouts and that includes recovery as well as prevention.
