Local Cub Scout Pack #789 (Webelos II) came last night for work on their merit badges for health care with a lesson in Emergency Services. There learned about E-911 and how it works, including an activity where they wrote down their own 911 address and explained how to find the location if the numbers were not properly displayed at the property for identification.
They learned about how emergency calls to police, fire and ems are processed. They were introduced to CPR including a small skills lab where they demonstrated what they had learned
to determine responsiveness, an adequate airway, how to porperly ventilate a patient and how to check for a pulse.
We went to the ambulance station where they were given a tour of the ambulances and rescue vehicle. They asked good questions and are eager to assist our local squad if asked to participate as patients in an upcoming training excercise.
