Is your DC or GSL reminding you (again!) that your First Aid qualification needs to be renewed? Is it a bit difficult for you to get away for a day to do a face to face course? Did you know there’s an alternative?
Hampshire Scouts have developed an online training programme that has been approved for use anywhere in the UK.
1. Enrol with the Hampshire Scouts.
Go to https://hampshire-scouts.thinkific.com/courses/firstresponse and enrol. At this stage you will need to know your name and email address, and to create a password of your choosing. Work through the training. You can do it all in one sitting (around 2 – 2 ½ hours), or if you prefer, do some, then log in at a later date to do more until it’s complete. Most of the training is in short videos (typically around 3 minutes), some have additional text to read, a few topics are text only. When complete, fill in the Google form so I am advised that you have completed this part of the training. You’ll need to know your Region (South East) and your district.
2. Book onto a Confirmation Zoom session, led by a trainer.
These are about 2.5 hours, and designed to check everyone’s understanding and give the opportunity to ask questions. The first of these in SE is on 16/02/2022, and can be booked on Eventbrite on https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256187954067. When this is complete, module 10A will be validated in Compass.
3. Book onto a module 10B session for the practical demonstration.
Those currently available are:
a. Saturday 19th February at 1.30pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256126921517
b. Saturday 19th February at 2.30pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256111766187
c. Saturday 12th March at 1.30pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256126921517
d. Saturday 12th March at 2.30pm https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256128225417
We’re still running the traditional 1 day courses that cover modules 10A and 10B.
Those available just now are:
1. Sunday 13th February: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256113019937
2. Sunday 27th February: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256125116117
3. Sunday 13th March: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/256130311657
For both 10B and the full course, all listed are at 31st Pentland Hall in Currie (full details in Eventbrite). Additional dates and venues will be added, depending on requirements. Speak to your ADC(Adult Training) if you think there are enough people locally to justify a course and you have a venue we can use.
Finally, for those who completed module 10A by 3 Zoom sessions last year, if you haven’t already done module 10B it is still needed.
Don’t make your GSL / DC come chasing!

Safety, Safeguarding and First Aid are mandatory ongoing learning for all learners and need to be completed every three years. Recently we have made some great progress with 96% and 95% of adult volunteers in South East Scotland Scouts region having completed Safety and Safeguarding modules respectively. Our target for these modules is 98% so we have a little way to go. Well done to Edinburgh North East, Pentland and Midlothian Districts who have achieved the 98% target.
We also have made progress with First Aid Training with 90% completion and GDPR (which only needs to be done once) with 89% completion – again each of these has a 98% target so we need circa 120 members to undertake First Aid and 200 members to do their GDPR training. If you have not yet completed this training PLEASE do so as soon as you can. Thank you.
