1 LEVEL 1 Camping Scene It is the first day of camp and you've spent all your time hauling everything into the cabin. Your feet are hot and sweaty, so you decide to take your shoes off for a couple of minutes while inside. You are walking in you bare feet and get a splinter- Remove the splinter Squeeze gently around the wound Wash the wound, with soap and water Apply a sterile bandage Does anyone know where the first aid kit is? Where are the band aids? Do you have a pair of tweezers? After you are finish you notice there are a few girls you don't know. Some of the girl have snacks and they were going to leave them on their beds. Should you say something. You brought food to camp with you to share Place in a sealed tub, or solid container Your ward camp director brought freeze pops Ask the camp cook to use a freezer They call everyone out to get ready to go. It is time for the hikes. You make sure you grab a pack with a first aid kit just in case, and a water bottle. Go over the kit. Everyone is hiking and getting to know each other. Your friend notices a set of tracks in the mud. You follow them as they lead pass a berry brush. Everyone is trying to walk carefully to not destroy the tracks. You carefully look for more signs of animals Ask if anyone know what animal it is Is another animal following the first Your friend brushes some leave out of the way to get a better look. Are those plants what you think they are? Do you know any of them? Is she allergic?

2 You may become red and itchy, and get some blisters Rinse the skin with soap and water Calamine lotion may relieve the itching Do not scratch the area Bag your clothes until you can wash them Does anyone have a spare shirt, or hand sanitizer? The hike is almost over. You are getting a little tried and hungry. You are walking along the trail, and your friend hands you a candy bar. Place the wraps in you back pack until you reach a trash can Don't leave anything on the ground As you are walking talking and laughing, someone clutches their throat with their hands. Step behind victim, arms around midsection Clasp hands together with the thumb just above the naval With a sharp, inward thrust, drive your hands up under her rib cage Everyone stops a minute to thank Heavenly Father that everyone is all right. Then you continue on the hike. The hike leader calls back - it is only a couple of more camp sites until you are home. As you walk up to an empty camp you see embers still burning in the campfire ring. find water or dirt to place on the fire As you and your friend stir up the last of the fire. She cuts her arm on the edge of the campfire ring. There is a lot of blood. Begin First Aid. This is part of self reliance, so that you can be prepared. And stay calm Stop life -threatening dangers Keep the victim safe from further danger Get proper medical help

3 First 4 steps 1. Most serious cases are stopped breathing, no heart beat, severe bleeding, choking, and poisoning by mouth. 2. Send someone for help 3. Treat for shock 4. Examine victim for other injuries that require first aid To stop the bleeding Place a pad on the would and press on the would Do not remove any pad place over the wound, just add more If severe use pressure points on the pelvic bone for the legs or under the arm Keep the bleeding area above the body to help control bleeding After stopping the bleeding you can't remember which way you came into the campsite. The group starts walking and you pass a couple more camp sites. They all look the same. You are not sure if you are walking in circles, and the map doesn't make sense. leave trail markers You learn you had walked around the loop twice so you turn the other way at the next marker and continue into camp. Hot and excited to be in camp again you and your ward decide to have a water balloon fight. Pick up the piece of broken balloon and any other trash you find it. While cleaning up one of the girls slide and fall down her arm hurt and she does not want to move

4 Cravat Bandage A cravat bandage is used to hold a pad or splint in place. Make it by folding a triangular bandage, bandanna, or scarf. You can also use a piece of cloth folded into a triangle. Fold the point up to the long edge (see figure 1). Finish by folding the bottom edge twice to the top edge Sling Make a sling from a large triangular bandage, bandanna, scarf, or piece of cloth folded into a triangle. Use it to support an injured hand, arm, or shoulder. You can tie an overhand knot in the large angle of the triangle to help support the person s arm. Place the bandage over the chest with the overhand knot at the elbow of the injured arm and one end over the opposite shoulder. Bring the remaining end up to the shoulder. Tie the two ends together behind the neck so that the hand is held slightly higher than the elbow. Splint A splint is any stiff material that can be bound to a fractured limb to prevent the broken bone from moving and tearing the flesh. It should be longer than the bone that is fractured. Pad the splint with soft material. Use whatever materials you can find nearby. For the splint, use boards, tent poles, branches, hiking sticks, ski poles, shovel handles, heavy cardboard, folded newspapers, or magazines. For padding, use clothing, blankets, pillows, or crumpled paper. Padding makes splints fit better and eases the person s pain. Bind the splints with triangular bandages, bandannas, scarves, strips of cloth, or belts. Look around you. Determine what is within reach that you could use for splints, padding, and binding. In cases of extreme emergency, you may have to move the victim before medical help arrives. In this situation, support the broken limb by making it immovable in a well-padded splint. Put on the splint before you move her! Don t move the victim before the splinting is complete unless her location poses an immediate danger to her or the rescuers. Collarbone or Shoulder Fracture: No splint is necessary. Place the forearm in a sling with the hand raised about three inches higher than the elbow. Tie the upper arm against the side of the body with a wide cravat bandage. Make sure the bandage is not so tight that it stops circulation in the arm. Lower Arm or Wrist Fracture: Use splints long enough to hold the wrist, lower arm, and elbow motionless. Place the splinted arm in a sling with the person s thumb up and the hand slightly higher than the elbow. Use a cravat bandage to tie the upper arm against the side of the body. The body itself will act as a splint. Upper Arm Fracture: Tie one splint to the outside of the upper arm. Place the forearm in a sling; then use a cravat bandage to tie the upper arm against the side of the body. Lower Leg Fracture: Apply two splints, each long enough to reach from the middle of the thigh to just past the heel. Place the splints on either side of the injured limb and bind them together in four or more places. Thigh Fracture: Apply one splint to the outside of the leg extending from heel to armpit, and one on the inside of the leg extending from heel to crotch. Bind the splints together. Use four or more binders around the splints and leg and three binders around the upper part of the outside splint and the body. The muscles of the upper leg are strong enough to pull the broken ends of the thigh bone into the flesh. Therefore, these procedures should be used only to take care of an emergency until medical care can be obtained. The patient should not be moved any great distance without a traction splint. Ambulances carry these splints, and they can be made by people with advanced first-aid training After cleaning up and taking the girl to the nurse, everyone is soaked and you need to put up a cloth line to dry everyone's wet clothes. You get a rope and find two trees in the sun.

5 Half Hitch Tie a rope to a pole, ring or similar object Pass the end of the rope from front to back around the pole Bring the end over and under the standing part Then up through the loop that you just formed To tie a Double Half Hitch Bring the end around the standing part a second time Make another Half Hitch in front if the first The rope is to short to reach the second tree but you find another smaller rope. Sheet Bend Use to join 2 ropes of different thicknesses Bend the free end of the rope until parallel with the standing part Bring the end of the small rope up through the loop Then pass it back under the entire loop Bring the end in front of the loop and under itself Pull on the two ends of both ropes to tighten the knot Two teams decide to have a tug-of-war with other ropes that someone found, and your team wants to anchor the end of the rope. So you tire the rope around the last girls middle. This is what girls camp is all about. Bowline Lift up or pull out Over hand loop Other end around the waist Up through the overhand loop Behind and around the stand part Back down through the loop Tighten the knot by pulling hard on the ends of the rope
