Calling All Medics!

We need your help! With the new changes to camping requirements at the Council and District level, we need qualified medics for any overnight event. What does “qualified” mean? You must be over 21, have current Youth Protection Training, and be one of the following:

·       Licensed physician
·       Licensed nurse practitioner
·       Nurse (RN, LPN, LVN) (NOTE: Nurse’s aides, certified nursing assistants, and assistants do not qualify)
·       Licensed physician’s assistants
·       Paramedic
·       Emergency Medical Technician (basic, intermediate, or paramedic)
·       Emergency Medical Responder (current Texas state license or current Nationally Certified First Responder listed on the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians)
 

Are you willing to volunteer at a Council or District event like a Camporee, Mega Training Weekend, or a Cub Scout overnight event? If so, please send your name, qualification, and contact information to Staci Kilpatrick, stacikilpatrick30@gmail.com.
