I had some of my Royal Ranger students assemble a first aid kit. Here, for my own memory, is some of the random scribblings I made during my research. Please look elsewhere if you’re looking for a definitive guide on first-aid kits! This is part of my RoyalRanger sequence of pages.
First have kids come up with a list of things they think would be important...
Container (disposable plastic)
Band-aids
Gauze pads (sterile, general-purpose)
Cloth tape
Latex gloves
Bulk dressing
Occlusive dressing
Mini scissors? Tweezers???
Safety pins
Antiseptic solution/wipes, or povodine iodine
Mini first-aid handbook (if any can be found)
Waterproof matches (make their own?)
Medication (purchase for self)
Antibiotic ointment (purchase for self)
Tylenol/ibuprofen
Calamine/benadryl
