Compassion Opening Lead the following discussion with the Cub Scouts: Our Core Value for the month of March is Compassion. Who can tell me what they think Compassion means? [Hopefully Cub Scouts will have some idea of what Compassion means. Integrate as many of their answers as possible while you make sure that they understand that Compassion means being kind and considerate and showing concern for the well-being of others.] How can a Cub Scout have compassion? [Listen to their responses and remind them that Cub Scouts should be looking for ways to be helpful and kind to others. During March we will also be reviewing some first aid information. How are we showing compassion when we give first aid to someone who is hurt?] Core Values: Compassion, Responsibility, Respect

First Aid & Safety Review Tiger, Wolf, Bear Materials: -Adhesive bandages for each Tiger, Wolf and Bear so that they can cover their pretend cut. Instructions: For this activity, this will mostly be a discussion of Wolf Requirements 3b, 3c and Bear Requirements 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d and 11g. Wolf 3b - Tell four ways to stop the spread of colds. 1. If you have a cold, stay away from other people. 2. Get lots of rest. 3. Turn your head away from others when you sneeze or cough. Cover your mouth and nose. 4. Wash your hands often, and always wash them after you sneeze. [The Cub Scouts probably know this information it just needs to be reviewed.] Wolf 3c Show what to do for a small cut on your finger. [Review these steps and then have the Cub Scouts do a role play.] 1. Tell a grown-up about the cut. [Why tell a grown-up?] 2. Let the cut bleed a little. [What will this do?] 3. Wash it with soap and water. 4. Cover it with a stick-on bandage. Step 3 in the role play can be well done role play turning on the water, putting soap on your hands, etc. Don t forget to turn the water off! Step 4 Using a real adhesive bandage (especially for the Wolf Cub Scouts), the Cub Scouts can learn how to put on a bandage making sure not to touch the pad, etc. Bear 11a Tell what to do in case of an accident in the home. A family member needs help. Someone s clothes catch on fire. What should you do if you are at home with a family member and he or she falls down the stairs or off of a ladder and gets hurt? Talk it over with an adult and think about these things: 1. Be calm and make the person as comfortable as possible without moving him or her. Don t try to move an injured person. You might make the injury worse if you do. 2. GET HELP! If there is someone in the yard or nearby, send that person to get a neighbor or

call for an ambulance. Do it yourself if no one else is around. 3. Stay with the injured person. Use a blanket to keep him or her warm. What should you do if someone s clothes catch on fire? Talk it over with an adult. 1. Usually a person panics and starts to run stop him! Running fans the flames and makes them spread. 2. If the person can be caught, force him or her to the ground or floor. Roll the victim over and over to smother the flames. Wrap them with a rug, blanket, or sweater, working from the neck down. If you can t catch the victim, yell Stop! Stop! Stop!, and then thrown yourself on the ground and roll so the victim can see you and do what you do. Cover your face so the victim will too. 3. As soon as you can, help the person get to a place where the burned parts of the body can be covered with clean dressings and treated by a doctor. What should you do if your own clothes catch on fire? [This can be role-played.] 1. Stop where you are. Don t run! 2. Drop to the floor or ground. 3. Roll and cover your face. 4. If you are indoors, grab a rug, blanket or coat and wrap yourself as you roll. Start at your neck. What should you do if your house catches on fire? [This can be role-played.] 1. First, get everyone out of the house! Crawl along the floor to avoid breathing smoke. 2. Don t try to put the fire out yourself. 3. Call the fire department from a neighbor s house. 4. When the firefighters arrive, let them know everyone is out of the house. Remember: Never go back into a burning building for any reason. Bear 11b Tell what to do in case of a water accident. A boat overturns and you are in it. What do you do? 1. Don t panic. Grab the boat and stay with it. 2. Help the other passengers to find a place where they can hold on. No one should try to swim

ashore. Stay with the boat; it will support you. Wait for rescuers. 3. If the boat can be turned right side up, get inside and sit as low as possible on the bottom. Someone slips off a bank into the water. What do you do? 1. Reach the person, if possible, with your hand or leg. Take off your sweater or shirt and toss one end to the person. You can also extend a stick, fishing pole, branch or anything that is handy. 2. Throw something to the person that will float, such as a cushion, inner tube, plank, or a ring buoy, if available. Someone falls through the ice. What do you do? 1. Remember, if you get too close, you might break through, too. 2. Find something to throw to the person. 3. Look around for a ladder, a long branch, or anything you can use to reach toward the person. Lie flat on safe ice and push the item toward the person until he or she can grab it. Then you can pull him or her out. 4. When the person is out of the water, get him or her to someplace warm. Bear 11c Tell what to do in case of a school bus accident. 1. Always know where emergency exits are whenever you get on a bus. 2. In case of an accident, follow directions from the driver. If the driver is injured, stay calm. Tell others to take it easy and get out of the bus through the emergency exits. Move to the side of the road, away from the traffic. 3. Help the bus driver get everyone out without pushing. Bear 11d Tell what to do in case of a car accident. 1. Be calm. Help the adults by doing what you are told. 2. Suggest to the driver that the car be left where it is until the police come. Ask an adult to direct traffic around it. 3. Don t go out into the road yourself. Watch for other cars. All passengers should get out of the car on the side away from traffic. 4. Don t move anyone who might be badly injured.

Bear 11g Complete the Character Connection for Courage. [This should have be covered the previous week, so a quick review of the courage steps is probably all that s needed.] Courage steps are Be brave, Be calm, Be clear, Be careful. If you have time, have the boys act out a situation where they use at least one of these courage steps.

First Aid & Safety Review Webelos Scouts Materials: Webelos Handbooks (not all information needed for the review due to the amount of information - is found here. It is best for the Scouts to have their handbooks so that they can see all of the diagrams and instructions that are found in the book). Instructions: For this activity, this will mostly be a discussion and/or role play of the Readyman Activity Badge requirements 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 14. There are requirements where the boys need to demonstrate and show that they know what they need to do in emergency situations. Readyman 4 Demonstrate the Heimlich maneuver and tell when it is used. Webelos Scout Handbook p. 379-380 If a bit of food sticks in a person s throat, he will start choking. He may not be able to cough it up by himself. Unless the person is a baby, use the Heimlich maneuver. Stand behind the victim and put your arms around him. Make a fist with one hand just above his belly button. Cover the fist with your other hand. Now make four quick thrusts inward and upward to force air from his lungs. This should dislodge the food. If it doesn t, repeat until the food is dislodged. If the person is too big for you to do the Heimlich maneuver standing up, have him lie down face up. Put one open hand just above his belly button and put the other hand over the first. Make four quick, upward thrusts. Do not practice the thrust part of the Heimlich maneuver on a person. Thrusts should be used only for actual choking cases. Readyman 5 Show what to do for these hurry cases : -Serious bleeding -Stopped breathing -Internal poisoning -Heart attack Webelos Handbook p.371-376

First Aid for Hurry Cases If a person cuts a leg and blood is oozing out, he or she needs first aid but isn t going to die. A broken arm is a serious injury, but it won t kill. Hurry cases are different. Unless you act fast and give the right first aid, the victim may die within a few minutes. The four hurry cases are -Breathing has stopped. It must be restarted quickly. -Blood is spurting from a wound. The bleeding must be stopped quickly. -Poison has been swallowed. The poison must be made harmless. -Heart attack or stroke. Get help quickly. See pages 372-376 in the Webelos Handbook for all information on rescue breathing and stopping severe bleeding, poisoning and heart attack. The information is very important and the boys must be able to show what to do for hurry cases. Readyman 6 Show how to treat shock. Webelos Handbook pages 376-377 When a person is injured or under great stress, his circulatory system might not provide enough blood to all parts of his body. This is called shock. The person will feel weak. His face may get pale. His skin will feel cold and clammy. He may shiver or vomit. Don t wait for these signals to appear. Give any badly injured person first aid for shock. -Have him lie down. -Raise his feet slightly, unless you think he has injuries to his head, neck, back, hips or legs. If you don t know, have him lie flat. -If he is not awake, turn him on his side, not on his back. -If the weather is cool, cover him. If it s hot, don t. -Call for emergency help immediately. He needs expert medical care as soon as possible. Readyman 7 Show first aid for the following: cuts and scratches, burns and scalds, choking, blisters on the hand and foot, tick bites, bites and stings, poisonous snakebite, nosebleed, frostbite, sunburn. Webelos Handbook pages 377-383. Readyman 8 Tell what steps must be taken for a safe swim with your Webelos den, pack, family or other group. Explain the reasons for the buddy system. Webelos Handbook pages 384-385 Swimming is a lot of fun, but water can be a dangerous place if you aren t prepared.

Scouting has a checklist called the Safe Swim Defense plan to make sure you are prepared. The plan has eight points. 1. An adult is in charge. Follow the adult s orders. 2. Physical fitness. Each swimmer must provide a current health history from his parent, guardian, or doctor. 3. Safe swim area. The area is checked for underwater dangers. One area not more than 3½ feet deep is marked off for non-swimmers. Another area is marked for beginners; it can be a little deeper. A third area of deep water is marked for good swimmers. 4. Lifeguards. Trained lifeguards are on shore, watching everybody who is in the water. 5. Lookout. A lookout is also on shore to direct the lifeguards if a person needs help. 6. Ability groups. The leaders divide the swimmers into three groups 1) non-swimmers; 2) beginners, who can swim at least 50 feet; and 3) swimmers, who can swim 100 yards and float. Each group stays in its own area. 7. Buddy system. Each person is paired with another person who has the same swimming ability. They go into the water together, stay together, and come out together. 8. Discipline. Everyone agrees to follow water safety rules. Everyone obeys the lifeguards or other supervisors. Readyman 10 Explain the importance of wearing safety equipment when participating in sports activities (skating, skateboarding, etc.) Webelos Handbook page 387. For all sports, it is important to wear equipment that will help prevent injury. For example, during all street or pavement skating activities, participants should wear properly fitted helmets that meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, padded gloves, wrist supports, and elbow and knee pads. Your parent, guardian, or Webelos den leader can help you learn what safety equipment is needed for each sport you want to learn. Readyman 14 Explain six safety rules you should remember when riding in a car. Webelos Handbook page 390. 1. Always use your seat belt. You are much less likely to get hurt in an accident if you are wearing a seat belt. In some states, wearing a seat belt is the law. 2. Don t talk to the driver in heavy traffic. He or she must concentrate on driving. 3. Do talk to the driver when he or she is tired. It will help keep the driver alert. 4. Keep younger children from quarreling or jumping around in the car. Be sure they keep their seat belts fastened or are in the car seats with the harness fastened. 5. Lock the doors. Then younger children won t be able to open them accidentally. 6. Keep hands, head, and feet inside the car even when it is parked. 7. Don t ride or carry passengers in the bed of a pickup truck.

First Aid Baseball Materials: Question cards Base sheets (Home plate, 1 st base, 2 nd base, 3 rd base placed on the floor as a baseball diamond) Pencil and paper (scorekeeping) Instructions: Divide the Cub Scouts into equal (or mostly equal) teams. For every two teams playing you will also need an umpire (to determine if an answer is right or wrong and to determine advancing to bases in a partial answer situation) and a scorekeeper. The umpire and scorekeeper could be the same person. Game Play: 1.Determine which team will bat (or answer questions) first. 2. The team up to bat first stands behind home plate. The first player in line bats first. 3. The first player chooses a card without reading it and hands the card to the umpire. 4. The umpire reads the question on the card to the batter. 5. The batter does his best to answer the question without any help from other team members. 6. The umpire decides if the question has been answered correctly or not. All decisions of the umpire are final. Some of the questions have multiple part answers. The umpire can decide to let the runner advance a base or two if he gets part of the answer. 7. If the batter answers the question correctly, the batter advances the number of bases indicated by the umpire. If he answers incorrectly the scorekeeper records an out for the batting team and the next player comes to bat. 8. If the batter answers a question correctly and there is another player on base ahead of him, everyone on base advances the number of bases indicated on the card. 9. When a player reaches home plate, the scorekeeper records a run for the team.

10. When a team has three outs then it is the other team s turn to bat. 11. Play for a certain amount of innings or for a certain amount of time. Make sure that each team bats in each inning played. 12. The team with the most runs scored, wins the game! Variations: This game can be played with any type of question not just first aid questions.

Safety Closing Materials: None Cubmaster: Today we ve spent quite a bit of time talking about how to help people when they are hurt and being safe. In Cub Scouts we want to be as safe as possible. We have safety rules for many of the activities that we might do where someone could get hurt like bicycling and swimming. You probably have safety rules at school and at home. We need to make sure that we are following Akela wherever we are. Are we being safe and following safety rules? Can we be better in following those rules so that we don t get hurt and so our friends and family members don t get hurt? Have a safe week, Cub Scouts!
