Skills builders
First aid stage 3
Be well
What should you have in your first aid kit?
Find out with the first aid skills builder! Learn how to help others and what to do in an emergency. Stage 3 is recommended for Brownies and Guides.
Here's a taste of the activities you can look forward to trying at this stage. Ask your leader about all the things you'll need to do to earn this badge.
Flexible first aid kits - First aid kits can be big and bulky and not convenient to carry around – so if an accident happens, what then? You can use everyday items to help in an emergency.
Are you okay? - The way you feel changes all the time. Discover how to recognise what people around you are feeling.
Blazing burns - Oh no, someone has been burned! What do you do? Find out and act fast as you try out treatments for different types of burns.
Hidden signs - Get your detective hat on! Can you read the signs of these common illnesses and make the best decision?
Think fast - Get ready to think fast! Life and death situations are rare, but in an emergency, thinking and acting quickly can speed up getting help.
