First Aid (from
Klondike 1999)
Objective: To administer proper first aid
according to the Boy Scout Handbook.
Procedure: Each patrol will have to answer questions concerning cold weather emergencies. Each patrol will also be given a scenario for which they will have to decide what is wrong, send for help, properly treat, and effectively manage the scene. The scenario will end when treatment is complete. No transport is necessary.
Equipment needed: Patrol first aid kit (including rubber gloves). Decide what to bring based upon what you need on a campout. What kind of injuries are possible during a winter campout?
Scoring: 25 points for proper answers
to cold weather emergency questions.
75 points based upon the actions taken in a first aid scenario
The primary rescuer needs to identify himself and ask
permission to give help. Scouts then need to correctly determine
what is wrong with the person.
Treatment for shock is required; keep the person warm,
elevate their legs (if appropriate) and keep him calm by reassuring him
things will be alright, and provide fluids if the person is conscious.
For bleeding; direct pressure with gloves on, elevation of the
part that is bleeding above the heart, and proper application of a pressure
dressing. If needed use pressure points. For fracture; do not move hurt
person unless necessary and then only with proper support of the injury.
Splint securely, if necessary, above and below the nearest joints if possible.
Use sufficient padding when splinting.
Scouts should understand the concepts of primary survey, i.e., a survey
of life threatening problems: Airway, Breathing, and Circulation (ABCs).
The Scout should also understand the concepts of secondary survey:
1. Overview of other injuries that are not life threatening, but need
proper management.
2. The correct information to collect and convey to a Scout or two who will
go to request help (911): what they want, where the person
is, the general condition of the injured or ill person, what first aid
is being given. In addition the secondary survey should also determine
the answers to AMPLE questions: Allergies, Medications, Prior medical
history of related injuries or ongoing conditions, Last meal eaten,
Events leading up to the injury.

First Aid (from
Klondike 2005)
Objective: Correctly identify and treat injured person(s)
in an accident scene.
Patrols will encounter an accident scene in this event. They must assess the
situation and victims properly, call for help, treat injuries in order of
urgency and follow all BSA rules of conduct in First Aid situations. The scenarios
will be based on normal scout situations (such as a backpacking trip or winter
outing). The primary difference in this event from past first aid events is
that the patrol leader will not be allowed to physically help in treating
victims or calling for help. The leader can only direct and lead.
Sample scenario: Your troop was playing capture the flag this evening after dinner. The sun has just set and you are heading back to camp with your patrol pushing your supply sled. You encounter two scouts lying on the ground. After flashing your light around, it becomes obvious that one took a pine tree head on and is bleeding at the forehead. The other lies next to him, in pain, but his injury is unapparent.
Equipment Provided: Victim and Scene
Equipment Needed: First Aid Kit
Scoring: 80 points
- Correct treatment of injuries
- Correct order of treatment based on urgency
- Correct scene-safety
- Correct timing and information of phone call
- Leader’s delegation of work
10 Points Maximum for Teamwork
10 Points Maximum for Patrol Spirit
