Who needs First Response learning

Who needs First Response learning

First Response learning is currently required by volunteers who work directly with young people or may be reasonably expected to work directly with young people will require First Response.

We encourage everybody in Scouts to complete First Response learning whether they require it or not. We are proud of how many of our members have completed first aid learning, it is a benefit to Scouting and it is a benefit to our communities. 

The definitive guide to who is required to complete the First Response learning is in POR Chapter 16: Roles Table

First Response learning, once completed, must be renewed every three years. The renewal date is determined by the completion date of 10A.
