Hello,

Please help me with first aid for scouting! I will be awarding a best answer and be very greatful to a detailed response. Any help at all is great!

Can someone please tell me the symptoms, treatment, prevention, and different kinds of the following injuries:
-Fractures
-Burns
-Hypthermia
-Frostbite
-Skin rashes
-poison ingestion
-abdominal pain
-strains, sprains
-how to splint

I would be so greatful to anyone who again, is VERY thourogh and helpful in first aid for this merit badge! If any other scouts need help to eearn MB's or advance in rank, feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks again, and remember to "Be Prepared"!

hey, I'd help but it is a lot of info. besides you need to learn it for yourself. after all this is first-aid. that means that you are expected to take someones life into your hands and keep him alive/treat him until help arrives. if you can't do that because you earned the badge but never learned how to do it then you are endangering someone else. trust me i know. not just preaching. I'm a combat medic and I'm expected to do just that. help someone until i can get him to a medical doctor that can provide definitive care. i also teach Combat Life Saver courses to army personnel. they do everything that you just asked, and will probably be tested harder than you will. I'll let you know that if i ever find one of my student's studying in this way i will bring the hammer of god down on their head so fast that they won't know what hit them.
