First Response (with e-learning)

First Response is Module 10 of the Scout training scheme and covers the mandatory first aid requirements for leaders including activity permits such as hillwalking terrain one. The course is also recognised by Girlguiding UK and is suitable for module K of the young leader scheme.

This course consists of a 2 hour e-learning plus face to face session. The course carries an attendance certificate (sent by email) which lasts for 3 years. We do not offer a refresher course any more, although other districts may.

Please complete the e-learning before attending. We will remind you 2 weeks before. We get a list sent to us just before the course of who has completed.
