A Girl Scout first-aider is an adult who has taken Girl Scout council-approved first-aid and CPR training. First-aiders are needed for physically demanding activities and other activities involving a potential for injury. There are two levels of first-aid training for Girl Scouts:

• LEVEL 1 first aid is required of the adult acting as the primary first-aider for the Girl Scout group activities indicated in the activity checkpoints.

       Local classes:

• LEVEL 2 first aid is required of the adult acting as the first-aider at a resident camp; in core staff and family camping; at day events, overnights, and camping events with more than two hundred participants; and when activity check points indicate that level 2 first aid is needed.

Leaders should take advantage of the first-aid training offered by local chapters of American Red Cross, National Safety Council, EMP America, or equivalent courses as approved by their Girl Scout council.
