Guidance on first aid kits

The first aid kit should be practical for the event or activity, clearly marked (with the words ‘First Aid Kit’ or a white cross on a green background), dust and damp proof and be kept in an accessible position.

 First aid kits for personal use or for smaller events should contain a similar range of contents, though in smaller quantities.

 For any Scouts activity access to first aid is required, and it should be clear who the designated First Aider(s) is. This person will have training of First Response level or equivalent (for further information please refer to First Response).
