In emergencies, someone has to be ready to help. After you earn the Readyman badge, you'll know how to react quickly when someone is ill or injured. You'll be ready to call for emergency help. When you learn first-aid, you can care for a sick or injured person until help arrives. You'll also find out how to prevent accidents and how to be safe when swimming and biking. You'll help your family be safe at home and when traveling by car. All these skills will make you a Readyman. |
