The Scouts First Aid Support Team (FAST) runs many First Aid Courses throughout the year. There are primarily 4 courses that they run which are suitable for Cubs, Scouts and Leaders. Family members are also welcome to complete some of these courses at discounted prices. The courses are run by Scout and Guide leaders who are also members of St John Ambulance Australia (NSW).
Each of these courses provides National qualifications which last for 3 years. The only exception is that the Advanced Resuscitation and Pain Management are current for only 1 year. However, the Advanced First Aid qualification is valid for 3 years. Each of these courses entitles the recipient to wear the Green and White First Aid badge while their qualifications remain current.
