Yes. Each participant must carry a small personal first aid kit containing basic items to deal with minor bumps, scrapes and other small injuries.
Your personal kit should also include any personal medication you may need, such as an asthma inhaler or EpiPen. Any medication should be carried in accordance with your medical requirements and the arrangements agreed with JLGB.
JLGB will also provide a group first aid kit containing the equipment needed to deal with more serious incidents, should one occur.
As part of your DofE training, you will also learn basic first aid. This is an important skill for your expedition and useful knowledge that you can use in everyday life too.
Please wait... it will take a second!
