The remit of the Eastbourne District Scout First Aid Team is to provide "First-Aid and Medical support to Scouting events"

This is fulfilled within our home district, East and West Sussex, as well as events throughout the UK.

EDSFAT also supports Scouting by:

• Helping others improve the safety of young people whilst in their charge.
• Training others in basic First Aid by running First Aid Courses.
• Promoting the use of High Visibility Garments and First Aid Equipment.

Who we are

EDSFAT is made up of adult members of the Scout Association, from throughout the UK, who are either Leaders or members of the Scout Active Support Unit. We operate as a Scout Active Support Unit with a manager and steering group. Members have to regularly attend training sessions, these keep the members up to date with the specialist equipment and help them to build on previously gained skills.

To help extend the support we offer to Scouting, Explorer Scouts from the age of 16 may attend our training sessions and selected events. Under 18's are required to be a member of an Explorer Scout Unit and partake in events/training with the Scout Active Support Unit as activities.
