1st Response is Girlguiding's own first aid course.
It will train you to provide first aid to members in emergencies - in or outside of your unit meeting place. The course was created specifically for members of Girlguiding and The Scout Association. It is not recognised as a first aid qualification outside of Girlguiding or Scouting.
This training will cover module 2 and 3. It is recommended that Module 1 is completed prior to this training but is not compulsory.
Module 1 will need to be arranged within your County/Island and is a two hour practical session. This must be arranged within 3 months of either completing your e-learning or attending this session (whichever is the earliest). Please note there may be a charge for this to cover the cost of the venue, book and equipment.
If you volunteer in one of the following Counties/Islands you will need to book directly with them using the following links:
