Scout Aid For Essex (SAFE) is a team providing First Aid support for Group, District and County events. The team is investigating training to provide support for Fire fighting and fire prevention in the future.

SAFE has been set up to provide First Aid during Scouting events to allow leaders and organisers to get on with running the programme, hopefully the SAFE team will be considered as part of the event team.
Cover can be from 1 or 2 first aiders for an afternoon or a team to cover for a weekend event. To enquire about cover for your event please use our email.

The team is made up of Scout leaders from Essex with a wide variety of experience of Scouting and First Aid. It also encourages membership from the Explorer Scout section. Every member holds at least a basic first aid qualification and training is provided during the year to update and increase members’ skills in both first aid and fire fighting.

SAFE is a new and very small team at present and should you wish to join us, this is an opportunity to practice your first aid skills for real with support from other members in the team.

This invitation is open to anyone who already gives First Aid support in their own area – we are not looking to take over existing support but to add extra if required. And we do need more members as we already have more bookings this year than we anticipated!

SAFE is a Scout Fellowship, so you can take part in as many events as you wish or have time to!

If you are interested in joining. or for more information please contact us via the email, top right, or contact Dot Parker (Chairperson) or Dave Kinloch (Secertary).
