First Aid Training
The Training Team has had several enquiries about First Aid Training. There are no plans at this time for Area to sponsor a First Aid training in 2023. Guiders should attend any First Aid training available in the community even though they are more expensive than a Guiding sponsored training.
Remember to check your District Guidelines about financial support for First Aid Training. Depending on your District Guidelines, Districts may pay from 1/3 or up to 1/2 of the cost, Units may cover a portion, leaving the Guider to cover the remainder of the cost. No Guider should have to pay the full cost of First Aid Training.
If you have any questions about training please contact the Area Training Adviser at the training email.
