April 1998, First Aid Night
The scouts of Troop 163 were able to practice their First Aid skills
on parents, dummies, and Eagle Scouts on 6 April 1998.
We had about 15 scouts participate in the First Aid night.
We also had about 25 extras in the form of parents,
siblings, Eagle Scouts, and ex-scouts to help carry this
event off. Thanks to everybody, with special thanks to
Reed K for organizing this event.
The Scouts were:
Trevor d,
Nick H,
Grant K,
David M,
Sean M,
Nenrik N,
Thomas R,
Conrad S,
Kyle W,
and
Andy W.
There were lots of people to help stage the event.
Some of the non-parents were:
Gary H,
Toby J,
Cody M,
and
Peter R.
| Toby J was having a bad day with various things which
bite or sting, including bees, dogs, and scorpions.
The scouts all tried their hand at helping Toby survive his ordeal.
| Elsewhere in the room, we had some rather severe burns which would need some attention.
| |
| | Peter R had the misfortune of drowning several times in the
shallow end of the room. The scouts were able to demonstrate their
first aid in resuing him from the pool and then getting him to breath
again.

From appearances, it appears that people had a lot of fun in this activity,
and hopefully, the scouts learned a little bit more about their First Aid.
| One of the parents brought along a dummy from work who suffered a number
of disasters over the evening, including walking on the beach and having
a deck collapse on him. The scouts did what they could to evaluate the
problems, and then render appropriate first aid. You can also see the
dummy towards the top of the page.

| Throughout the evening, the scouts were transporting each other on makeshift
stretchers. Some of the injuries required appropriate bandaging.
|
| |
| Some of the accidents were rather bloody, and the victims were somewhat dazed.
