WDleader 10 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have decided in the wake of all of the injuries and deaths associated in scouting lately, that I would like to put together some good training to refresh everyone on heat, and cold weather related injuries and other saftey related training. What I am looking for is any thing already done, as I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Do any of you have this, or can you point me in the right direction. You can send me a PM or reply here. Thanks in advance. Robert L. DeWitt ASM Troop 12 Chickasaw District Georgia Carolina Council Augusta, Ga I used to be a good Ole Bear SR-691 Link to post Share on other sites
madkins007 10 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Heat and cold emergencies are part of the standard module for Red Cross Basic First Aid modules. The BSA site offers A Winter Safety press release (http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.jsp?s=by'>http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.jsp?s=by) the OkPik winter camping guide The Jambo guide (http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.jsp?s=by) A quick not to any of the adventure bases in hot or cold climates should also net you some good stuff! I know Philmont has good stuff on it. Link to post Share on other sites
eagle-pete 11 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I agree madkins The BSA has diligently been working for several years puting together safe scouting policies and proceedures. I believe a review of all these policies should be included. Also, has everyone in your unit attended a Youth Protection course lately? If not, you may want to head one of those up. All the necessary information to conduct safe scouting activities is already available and easy to obtain at your Council Office. I would submit that several of these injuries and accidents would have been prevented by following these proceedures. Eagle-Pete Link to post Share on other sites
jr56 92 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Guide to Safe Scouting would be a good reference to start with. Link to post Share on other sites
WDleader 10 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have access to all of that, and have most of it in my position. What I am looking for is a Power Point Presentation, I can do one but I am not that good at creating Powerpoint stuff. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
