Requirement
7. Heart attack, CPR and AEDs
Required Often forgotten
Seven parts, and three of them need equipment or a walk around your community.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Three parts of this requirement need something you do not have at home. 7(d) needs a CPR training device your counselor approves; 7(f) needs an AED trainer if one is available; and 7(g) needs you to go and find where the AEDs actually are in your community. Arrange the first two together: a counselor with access to a manikin usually has access to an AED trainer at the same time.
