First Aid

First Aid is a vital skill for Leaders in Scouting to be qualified in. All activities conducted must do so with a nominated first aid qualified Leader present at all times.

Scouts SA accepts all Provide First Aid certificate qualifications issued by recognized First Aid Course providers. These can be submitted to training@sahq.scouts.com.au for adding to your membership record.

Scouts SA run a number of first aid courses a year, however Groups are also able to organize their own.

Courses for 2024 will be made available on MyScout soon.

How to apply

All applications for Branch run First Aid courses are managed through the MyScout Event Registration system.

Applications for the next course open after the previous one has been conducted.
