Scouting Training Program
An important part of the MedVent and MedRover program involves sharing our first aid knowledge. Our members have experience going out into the Scouting community and training Scouts and Cubs in basic first aid techniques. This training can be sufficient to award the youth the first aid badge. If you are interested in having our members come to your meeting use the Contact Us page to let us know! Note: If your Scouts need a Certificate program such as "Standard First Aid" Please contact "SMHEART First Aid Services" a proud sponsor of the MedVents at http://www.smheart.com
