Proudly serving Islip, NY

The American Red Cross BAT program teaches accident prevention and beginning first aid skills to fourth and fifth grade boys and girls. Our all day program meets most of the requirements for the WEBELOS Readyman badge and is fun too.

The BAT class is made up of 12 modules each demonstrating a first aid, accident prevention or safety skill. The class begins with First Thing First which explains what to do in an emergency. The class gets acquainted with the American Red Cross child mannequin "Junior" to learn the rescue breathing skill. The All Choked Up module teaches abdominal thrusts, Ouch teaches minor wound and burn care, Famous Fire Facts reinforces basic fire safety, Poison Patrol discusses how to prevent and treat poisoning. Other modules such as Water Whiz cover basic water safety including an introduction to BSA safe swim defense. Safe Wheels is a bicycle safety module. Just Say No, Cautious Kids and Lost and Found provide the boys and girls with age appropriate information on ways to stay safe and avoid dangerous situations.

The first day was long and fun. the scouts learned what to do in an emergency situation. All accidents are avoidable. common terms are check-call-care, basis of the BAT program. We reinforced how to activate 9-1-1 and remaining safe! A basic assessment of an injured person was shown and what to look for.  Situations were given to the scouts and acting is mandatory. They were told how to react to a choking patient. At the end, we told them about bleeding and how to stop it ! till Sunday for the rest...
