| Instructions | Silver Wolf - First Aid: Make a simple emergency kit and know how to use it When discussing this requirement with your Cubs, make sure that you have a couple of examples to show them. Remember that this emergency kit should be small and compact enough to fit into the uniform pocket. It may be in a small tin, plastic container or just a plastic bag, but it must be waterproof. The items can be changed according to what you think is most useful. They need to know how to use each of the items in their kit. |
