  • Moleskin 
  • Band-Aid 
  • Ace bandage 
  • Aloe vera 
  • Sunscreen 
  • Water 
  • Gatorade 
  • Small bag to hold first aid materials 

Before the meeting: 

  1. On small pieces of paper, write down one of the “injuries” (blister, sprained ankle, sunburn, and dehydration and heat related illness) on each.  Ensure that each Cub Scout will have an injury. 
  2. Set up meeting space so that Cub Scouts have plenty of room to move around. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Place folded pieces of paper with “injuries” in  a hat. Have each Cub Scout pick a piece of paper and silently read it to themselves.  
  2. Have the Cub Scouts count off.  This is the order of the injured Cub Scout. 
  3. Tell Cub Scouts that they’re going on a pretend walk around your meeting space. While on their “walk” each of them will have their “injury” and the others will provide first aid using the items in the first aid bag. 
  4. For example: 
    • Cub Scout with the sprained ankle injury will “trip” and call out, “Ouch! I hurt my ankle; I think I sprained it.” The den will take out the Ace bandage and pretend to wrap it up. 
    • The person who has the dehydration injury can say, “I’m so thirsty and tired, and I’m a little dizzy.” The den will pretend to give them small sips of water or Gatorade. 
  5. After they are finished, the walk can resume, and the next person will yell out their injury and so on until all injuries have been given first aid.
