Draft: may still change
Caring for someone who is injured or ill until they can get professional care is an important skill for every Scout. With some first aid knowledge, a Scout can give immediate help, prevent infection and serious blood loss, and maybe even save a limb or a life.

Getting ready
Do at home
Requirement 2b. This can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes it with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
Read the First Aid merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
