In partnership with the Center for Wilderness Safety (CWS), Boy Scout Troop 51 is hosting First Aid Merit Badge class on Saturday, December 1, 2018.

First Aid Merit Badge classes
Saturday, December 1, 2018
8am – 5pm (includes 1 hour for lunch⁺)
Cost: $45
Location: Floris UMC (13600 Frying Pan Rd, Herndon, VA 20171)
Registration: https://www.wildsafe.org/courses/first-aid-merit-badge/ (class is limited to the first 30 people who register, so do not delay in registering)
+ – Lunch not provided.

Prerequisites:

1. Come to class prepared to meet this merit badge requirement:

“1. Satisfy your counselor that you have current knowledge of all first-aid requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks.”

Whether or not you have those requirements signed-off in your handbook, you must have current knowledge.  Before the class, Scouts should re-read the First Aid chapter in the Boy Scout Handbook to refresh their knowledge.  Bring your Boy Scout Handbook to class.

2. Come to class prepared to meet this merit badge requirement:

“5: Prepare a first-aid kit for your home.  Display and discuss its contents with your counselor.”

Hint: A first-aid kit for your home IS NOT the same as a personal first-aid kit.  Read the First Aid chapter of the Boy Scout Handbook to find out what should be in your home first-aid kit.

3. Scouts are encouraged to purchase and bring to class a First Aid Merit Badge pamphlet (item # 620609 available at Scout Shops or at ScoutShop.org).  The pamphlet is a great resource to include in your home first-aid kit.
4. Print out and bring a copy of CWS’s First Aid Merit Badge Participant Workbook. A link to the workbook is on this webpage: https://www.wildsafe.org/courses/first-aid-merit-badge/.  Bring a pen or pencil.
5. Bring a merit badge application (aka, “blue card”) signed by your Scoutmaster.
6. All participants must bring a fully-filled out and signed Activity Consent and Approval by Parents or Legal Guardians form.

Parents are encouraged to stay for the class and learn along with the Scouts!

Join us in the Summer of 2018 for a GREAT! week at Camp Bowman for our annual Boy Scout Summer Camp adventure.

Camp Bowman is one of the many Boy Scout camps at Goshen Scout Reservation in Goshen, Virginia.

Goshen is one of the premier Scout reservations in the country.

There are over 50 merit badges, awards, and activities available for everyone from brand new Scouts through older Scouts.

To find out more about Troop 51’s adventure at Camp Bowman see our Summer Camp 2018 page.

Thinking about Boys Scouts? Want to have great outdoor experiences? Want to create memories that will last a lifetime?

Troop 51’s annual Open House nights are on November 14, 2018 & January 23, 2019 at 7PM at Floris United Methodist Church. At our Open Houses, prospective Boy Scouts will get to take part in a live Scout meeting! They will work directly with one of our patrols, where they will be taught Scout skills, like first aid, knot tying, lashings and a whole lot more. Each night ends with a game and refreshments.

Troop 51 meets every week on Wednesday night from 7:15 to 8:30 (please arrive by 7PM). We hold one campout or outing each month that include events such as cave exploration, climbing, skiing, fishing and a full weekend of rifle and shotgun shooting and archery. All our events are “age neutral”, meaning that whether you are 10 or 100, we will have an event that you can take part in. Troop 51 is also very family-oriented. We encourage you to bring along your other family members to all the events and enjoy them as a family!

In addition to all our exciting camping opportunities, Troop 51 attends summer camp annually and we sponsor 1 to 2 BSA high adventure trips, where Scouts can take part in back-country hiking in New Mexico, canoeing adventures in Minnesota or Canada, and even scuba diving and sailing in the Florida Keys!

If you are looking for an outdoor-focused troop that balances the demands of both Scouting and all your Scout’s extracurricular activities, then Troop 51 is the right troop for you!

If you are coming to either or both Open Houses, let us know here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5K97BLN.
