Visit by Hyndburn District Dog Warden
Cubs enjoyed a visit from Hyndburn District Dog Warden , Steve Woods who brought along his dog Woody. Cubs learnt about the dangers of not cleaning up after dogs, hygiene after handling a dog and how important it is to ask the owners permission before stroking a dog.
The Emergency Aid Stage 1 consisted of four bases.
Tracey Shaw ADC beavers helped us with our Emergency Aid Stage 1 Badge.
The first base with Tracey’s help was working with resuscitate Little Ann and the Cubs learnt about airways and basic resuscitation.
The second base the cubs had to learn how to dress a wound and help stop bleeding. They had fun getting wrapped up in bandages.
The third base the cubs learnt what to do in an emergency and how to make a phone call to the emergency services. This involved role play in different situations where they might come across such an emergency. The role play included some imaginative acting from the cubs as they played both injured party and the emergency operator.
The fourth base was dangers in the street and at home and the cubs had to identify the dangers from a worksheet and discuss what they would do.
