Pack First Aid Kit

Hello fellow Scouters,

Does your pack have a first aid kit? It’s a good idea to have one displayed prominently at each pack meeting or pack outing. You should also consider having a first aid kit at your den meetings. Unfortunately I had a Scout injured at a den meeting once, and I’m glad I had my first aid kit near by!

Now that we are enjoying the spring weather, springtime is a good time to go through your first aid kit and check for expired medicine, supplies that need refilling, etc. You can never have enough Band-Aids, so it’s a good idea to keep a good stock of those. (I was always partial to Hot Wheels or Spiderman bandages).

Hopefully you will never use one. But as Scouts we desire to “Be Prepared”, and a first aid kit should be stocked and ready to go as we go outside and enjoy our spring or summertime activities.

In Scouting,
