Requirement

1. Hazards and first aid, including two injuries that only rope causes

Required

Two parts. The first-aid list here carries rope splinters and rope burns, which appear on no other badge in this library.

Note. The requirements carry a standing note of their own: every pioneering project built for this badge must comply with the Guide to Safe Scouting height standards, and counselors should ensure Leave No Trace and the Outdoor Code are followed. It applies to the whole badge rather than to any one requirement, which is why it appears here and not as a step.

What this is made of

1(a). The hazards of pioneering, and what to do about them
1(b). First aid for the pioneering list, falls included
