SECOND CLASS SCOUT

To become a Tenderfoot Scout you learned about poisonous plants, how to perform the Heimlich maneuver, and ways to treat a few common injuries. The requirements for Second Class will help you understand the bigger picture of first aid as you practice the right way to approach the scene of an accident, figure out what is wrong, and then decide what to do.

Detailed information for each requirement can be found on the pages listed below:
