Conserving & Sharing: First Aid Skills

Next the Young Rangers did a course in Outdoor Activity First Aid and had the chance to show off their new uniforms sponsored by the Mendip Society. We had a lot of fun practicing the first aid skills but it was a good chance to understand the seriousness of something going wrong whilst out exploring. Our Young Rangers learned CPR, dressing wounds and how to use a defibrillator. They also got the opportunity to put their skills to the test outdoors in a hypothetical scenarios. First Aid skills are a way that we can work towards conserving the Mendip Hills AONB by keeping each other and our communities safe. The Young Rangers had their first opportunity to share their experiences as they were featured in several local newspapers for completing their First Aid course through Ammonite Training.
