Scout of the three parts of the Scout Promise.
1.To do my duty to God and my country,

2.To help other people and
3.To obey the Scout Law.
SCOUT SALUTE
Salute is given by raising the right arm smartly to the level of the shoulder,
Palm to the front with the three fingers stretched together, the first touching the
Forehead one inch above the right eyebrow and the thumb closing on the little
Finger And after that the arm, cutting to the front is quickly and smartly brought
Down curling the fingers.
“ONE” – Raise the arm and salute.

“FOUR” – Bring the arm down.
LEFT HAND SHAKE
WHEN Colonel BADEN-POWELL entered the capital city of the Ashanti people in 1896
he was met by one of the Chiefs who came to him holding out his left hand. B.-P. held
out his right in return but the Chief said: "No, in my country the bravest of the
brave shake with the left hand." So began the "left handshake" of the world-
wide brotherhood of Scouts.
Once Lady B.P. explained that her husband adopted left hand shake on the basis of the following :
Two tribes were fighting each other. One day when the two tribes came opposite to each other, the leader of one
Tribe threw away the shield in his left hand and approached the other leader extending his left arm for
Shaking hand. Thus he showed his friendship with a free extended left hand by not defending himself.
Hence, extending the left arm means I am not your enemy; I am your friend.’

26
Timber Hitch :
Also called as Bowyer’s knot, Lumberman’s knot and Countryman’s knot.
* Used to attach a rope to a log , This knot tightens under strain
Rolling Hitch :
Also called as Tautline Hitch and Magnus Hitch.
* Used to secure the guyline rope (tent, flag guylines etc..)
Marline Spike :
Also called as Lever Hitch.
* Used to make a temporary loop at center of the rope.
Figure of Eight Knot :

The figure-eight loop is used
like an overhand loop knot. This type
of knot can be used in prusik climbing
when used in conjunction with
a climbing harness, a climbing rope,
and locking carabiner designed for
climbing, to ascend or descend with
minimal equipment and effort
LASHINGS
When poles or spars have to be tied round together we use lashings. Lashings are of different kinds.
When two spars crossing each

other at an angle are to be lashed together
we use the SQUARE LASHING. It is also
used when the weight of one spar is
taken by another spar.
Start with a Clove Hitch
around one pole. Twist short end around
long and wrap the rope around both
poles, alternately going over and under
each pole about three or four turns.
Tighten the lashing by surrounding it with
three or four frapping turns. Finish with a
final Clove Hitch.
27
TRIPOID LASHING Also known as ROUND, TRIPOD OR

GYN LASHING. ( commonly known as FIGURE OF EIGHT LASHING )
USES : THE MOST COMMON USE OF THIS LASHING IS TO JOIN THREE SPARS(POLES) TOGETHER TO
FORM A TRIPOD. EACH OTHER AT THE SAME POINT AND THE SAME TIME IN THE SEQUENCE OF
CONSTRUCTION.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION : 1. Three spars are laid so that the centre spar goes in the
opposite direction to the two outer ones. 2. Start with either a clove hitch or a timber hitch on
one of the outside spars. 3.Wrap the rope neatly, but not too tightly, under and over the spars
until six or seven complete turns have been taken. 4. Finish with frapping turns round
either side of the central spar and tie off with the clove hitch. 5. The tripod is formed by turning
the centre spar through 180o and opening out the other two spars
HAND AXE
An AXE ia a friend of the scout. As long as it properly taken care of and not abused, it
will be, indeed a friend in need. AXES are of many types. But normally hatchets
(hand axes) and felling axes are the two varieties that scouts use.
The ideal weight of a hand axe is half a pound head. Head should be of good
steel, flawless,wedge shape, wide and round. The handle (haft) also should be in correct line
with the head and the edge.

HOW TO CARRY
On a hike carry it in sheath or a mask in your pack. When moving in a camp with axe hold the
handle near the head with the edge down. If you have to carry a sheathed axe on your belt wear
it just back of hip, on shoulder with the edge away from when unmasked.
28
USES OF HAND AXE

1. For Chopping a stick, hold the axe head against the stick to be cut on slant to the
grain rather than straight across the stick. Raise the stick and axe together and bring them hard
together on the block. This is called ‘CONTACT METHOD’. If the stick is very thick notch it with
‘V’ shape top of ‘V’ should be as wide as branch is thick.
How to use an Axe

• Crouch (or kneel on one knee) beHhind the chopping block.
• Hold the wood to be chopped with one hand.
• With the other hand grip the hand-axe on the lower part of the haft, on the 'grip'. Hold the axe
firmly but not rigidly. Note: only hold the hand-axe with one hand.
• Chop the wood by keeping the axe and the lower part of the arm straight and bending your arm
at the elbow rather than the wrist or shoulder. Chop at 45 degree angles to the length of the wood
making alternate left and right cuts to create a small 'V'. The 'V' will get wider as you cut through
the wood, creating the chippings,until it is cut in half. Do not try to cut at right angles to the
length of the wood; this will make the axe bounce.
• Always watch the point at which you are aiming. Indeed, when practising, it is
secured with a turn around some strong pillar or pole.

1D) Use of a SCREW DRIVER, PLIERS and HAMMER
SCREW Driver
The tool used to drive a slotted screw head is called a common blade, flat-blade, slot-head,
straight, flat, flat-tip, or "flat-head" screwdriver.
There are many uses of a screwdriver. Some of the uses of a screwdriver are to unscrew
screws and to screw screws. You can do this by turning your screwdriver in a screw. They can also
be used to make holes and draw straight lines. They can also be used to roll kimbab ( a korean dish,
with seaweed and rice). Screw drivers can also be used to destroy objects by hitting the object you
want to destroy. They can also be used for pulling yourself. For example during rock climbing you
can stick the driver into a rock and pull yourself. They can also be used to poke holes in papers. You
can do this by thrusting your screwdriver into a paper. They can also be used for a flagpole. You can
do this by intelligently attaching a flag to the screwdriver. They can also be used for a nickname for
a beverage. You can do this by saying SCREWDRIVER. They can be used to stir paint. You can do this
by spinning your screwdriver in a paint can. They can be used to pry open cans. They can be used to
roast marshmellows. They can be used to scratch your back. Three screwdrivers can be used to
juggle. Two screwdrivers can be used for chopsticks. Screwdrivers are very useful tools and can be
used for things you did not realize!
PLIERS :
PLIERS are a similar tool with a different type of head used for cutting and pulling, rather than
squeezing. Tools designed for safely handling hot objects are usually called tongs. Special tools for
making crimp connections in electrical and electronic applications are often called "crimping pliers";
each type of connection uses its own dedicated tool.
There are many kinds of pliers made for various general and specific purposes.
PILER HAMMER MALLET

HAMMER :
a : hand tool consisting of a solid head set crosswise on a handle and
used for pounding
b : a power tool that often substitutes a metal block or a dril l for
the hammerhead
MALLET :
A Hammer With A Large, Usually Wooden Head.
 A Long-Handled Wooden Stick With A Head Like A Hammer, Used For Hitting
A Croquet Or Polo Ball.
 A Wooden Stick With A Padded Head, Used For Hitting Percussion Instruments.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE HANDLING FIRE
1. The FIRE making materials , FIRE EXTINGUISERS should be ready to use.

2. The FIRE PLACE should be clean without GRASS.
3. Dig a pit and light the FIRE inside the PIT only.
4. No immediate combustible material ( KEROSINE, PETROL),DRY GRASS should be near the
FIRE .
5. Don‘t lit the fire in a place without the permission of the LAND OWNER
3. COOKING
Know the working & maintenance of a KEROSINE , PRESSURE STOVE or A GAS STOVE
Kerosene Stoves Gas Stoves Petrol Stove
31
Pressure Stoves
There are three types of pressure stoves in general use today: Kerosene, Gas, and
Petrol.
Kerosene: This is the type known to most as the 'primus', and has many years of faithful
service behind it.
It is heavier than the other two, and requires a separate fuel for
priming, but itis very efficient, the cheapest to run, and paraffin (kerosene) is
widely obtainable.
Gas: Lightest in weight; clean; give instant finally regulated heat: maintenance
almost nil but less power output than the other two, and dearer to run. How a paraffin
pressure stove works Liquid paraffin when healed vaporizes into a gas which. When
ignited. Gives off intense heat. Paraffin stove in action has the liquid at the bottom (in
the tank) and the gas at the top (at the burner) In between, heated tubes are
changing the 'liquid to' gas. Pumped pressure keeps the paraffin flowing upwards
through the heated tubes, and a tiny jet directs the ignited gas to the burner head.
The heating tubes arc kept hot by the flame. To start a cold stove, the tubes must
first be heated. That is why a priming (starting) fluid is necessary. It is lit in the
circular tray under the burner tubes and that heats them up. Here is the lighting
drill assuming that the stove is in order the tank is three quarters full, the jet is newly
pricked clean, and the valve is open: put priming fuel in the tray and light it (always
methylated, and preferably in solid form. A saucepan placed on the stove will. Help
the early heating of the burner tubes); when the fuel is almost burnt, close the valve,
hold the stove steady, and give one or two short strokes of the pump. If a faint blue
name appears in the burner, all is well, so far. Then give a full stroke or two' and wait
half a minute or so. If the blue flame increase pump vigorously.
Petrol: Cleaner; quicker; needs no priming fuel, and some models require no
pumping. Patrol is dearer than Kerosene and riskier in camp.
e. PRECAUTIONS IN CASE OF GAS LEAK.
* Although natural gas is by nature colorless and odorless, scents in the form of traces of
mercaptans are usually added, to assist in identifying leaks.
* This odor commonly takes the form of rotting eggs. If this scent is detected, it is
recommended to evacuate the area immediately, usually to the outside.
* Do not light fires/cigarettes, and do not operate electrical appliances/light

switches/phones, as these may act as points of ignition. Once in a safe area, contact
your natural gas provider.
3 B) Cooking: Cook in the open, two simple dishes, enough for two persons
and make tea/coffee for one Patrol over wood fire or stove.

n working with a map and compass, there are three different
north‘s' to be considered!
True north - Each day the Earth rotates about its axis once.
The ends of the axis are the true North and true South poles.
33
Grid north - The grid lines, pointing to grid north, on Ordnance Survey maps divide Great Britain
into 100 kilometer sections. They are then further sub-divided into one kilometer squares, east of an
imaginary zero point in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Cornwall. The majority of grid lines are 1.5
degrees west of true north and are therefore useful lines to refer to when taking bearings.
Magnetic north - A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole.

The difference between grid north and magnetic north is known as the magnetic
variation and its value can be found in the.
Types of compass
Air damped compass - This is the simplest and cheapest form of compass and does
little more than indicate the approximate direction of magnetic north. It takes a long time to stabilize
and the slightest movement makes the needle move. This compass should never be used for any sort
of hike or expedition.
Magnetic Compass - It is a liquid filled compass with only magnetic north marked on it
and can be clipped onto the side of a map. It is useful for positioning a map until whatever is in
front of you in
reality, is in front of you on the map. This can only be approximate as there is no allowance for
magnetic variation, that is, the difference between magnetic north and grid (map) north.
Prismatic compass - This is a more expensive type of compass with a prism which enables a
compass bearing to be taken while sighting your objective. It can be more accurate than other
compasses but it is harder to use and therefore should only be used once the basic principles
of map and compass work have been mastered.
Silva type compass - This consists of a magnetized needle suspended in an alcohol

filled housing.
The liquid helps to 'dampen' movement of the needle enabling it to be read more quickly than
air damped compasses. The compass housing has etched orienting lines and an orienting
arrow,
whilst the base plate (on which the housing is mounted) has the direction of travel arrow and
map scales etched onto it. This compass allows for bearings, an accurate method of
determining
direction, to be worked out and is therefore the compass of choice for hiking and expedition
typeactivities.
iii) Using a Compass know how to find the bearing of various objects from
your position
BEARINGS
1. Hold the compass flat in your hand with the direction of travel arrow pointing towards your
destination.
2. Turn the compass housing until the compass needle lines up over the orienting arrow.
3. Read off the magnetic bearing (that is, the number of degrees) from the mark on the
compass housing
indicated by the index pointer.
4. Keep the housing in that position and check your bearing at regular intervals by lining up
the needle
with the orienting arrow and walking in the direction indicated by the direction of travel
arrow.
34
Taking a bearing
1. Hold the compass flat in your hand with the direction of travel arrow pointing towards your
destination
or objective.
2. Turn the compass housing until the compass needle lines up over the orienting arrow.
Ensure the north
pole of the. needle, usually red, is used.
3. Read off the magnetic bearing (that is, the number of degrees) from the mark on the
compass
housing indicated by the index pointer.
4. Keep the housing in that position and check your bearing at regular intervals by lining up
the
needle with the orienting arrow and walking in the direction indicated by the direction of
travel arrow.
Walking on a bearing
This is used when you can initially see your objective or destination and don't need a map. It is
important to work out a compass bearing before the situation changes. This might be due to
the weather (rain, fog and so on), the terrain you are in (valley, hills and so on) or a delay
resulting in darkness. Any of these factors may mean you can no longer see where you are
aiming for and, therefore, you will need to rely on
the compass bearing.
1. Turn the housing of the compass until the bearing you require is against the index pointer.
2. Turn the compass until the needle lies over the orienting arrow.
3. Pick out a landmark along your direction of travel line and walk towards it.
4. Check your bearing and your objective at regular intervals.
Combining map and compass

1. Place the compass on the map so that one long edge joins the start point and your
destination, with the direction of travel arrow pointing towards the direction you wish to
travel.
2. Turn the compass housing until the orienting arrow points to the top of the map and the
orienting lines are parallel to the grid lines.
3. Take the compass off the map and read off the bearing at the index pointer and the local
magnetic variation.
4. Turn the whole compass so that the needle comes to rest over the orienting arrow, with the
red part to the north.
5. Hold the compass in front of you, pick out a landmark along your line of travel and walk
towards it.
MAPPING
FIVE "D'S" OF MAP READING :
Description, Details, Direction, Distance, and Designation.
DESCRIPTIONS: Name = major function of the map; latitude (East to West) and
longitude (North to South) hatchmarks
DETAILS: Rivers, Lakes, roads; symbols that represent natural and man-made features;
35
elevation symbols.
DIRECTIONS: Declination diagram; Up is True North
DISTANCES: Scales that indicate conversions between 2D and 3D;
1:24,000 = large scales map; 1:250,000 = small scale map
DESIGNATION: Names of places or features; elevation; side notes
SETTING A MAP WITH A COMPASS

1. Turn the compass housing until the magnetic variation for the area is shown against the
index pointer.
2. Place the direction of travel arrow pointing along the vertical grid line with the direction of
travel arrow pointing to the top of the map.
3. Turn the map with the compass in this position until the compass needle points to the north
mark on the compass housing.
4. Your map is now 'set' and you should be able to recognize actual features from your map in
front of you.
4 e) (v) Know the Terms : SCALE, DIRECTION, CONVENTIONAL SIGNS, CONTOURS &
GRID REFERENCE
(A)SCALE:
The measurement of the ground is shown in a small proportion on the map. It is indicated in
these ways:
(i) In words: e.g. one inch to a mile.
(ii) As R.F. (Representative Fraction) e.g. 1/10,000 i.e. one unit on the map represents ten
thousand such units on the ground.
(iii) By a scale line: Each division of the scale corresponds to the distance on the ground in the
said unit of measurement say kilometers. Real distance can be found out be using a pair of
divider on the map. The main divisions are called ‗Primaries‘ which are always to the right
of the smaller ones called ‗Secondary‘s‘.
(B)CONVENTIONAL SIGNS: REFER THE FIGURE
(C)CONTOURS:
Contours are thin lines on the map usually in brown color showing a definite
elevation above the mean sea level. The space between two such contours shows flatness or
steepness of that area, see the figure how contours are drawn.
D)GRID REFERENCE: A map is divided into squares by numbered lines called Grid
lines. They are generally pink. The vertical lines, from South to North are called ‗Easting‘s‘ showing
36
distance in yards towards the East, similarly horizontal lines are called Northings showing distance
forwards the North. Every tenth grid is drawn a little thicker. Grid lines are numbered with two bold
round digits. These grid lines locate and fix position of the object on a map. So this method is called
Grid Reference.
The six figure grid references like 273128 are read on a map in the following way.
Easting‘s number 27 and 3 divisions of number 28 (if it were further divided into ten equal parts).
Similarly Northings number 12 and 8 divisions of northing number 13. The intersecting point on the
map is the place referred to on the ground.
By knowing the above points discussed, you can read a Survey of India map.
(E) Vi) BE ABLE TO USE A TOURIST MAP

MAP SETTING:
For reading a map, we have to set the given map on the same ground. The following are the
map setting methods:
(i) With the help of a compass:
Draw the magnetic north on the map. Lay the compass on this North line. Turn the map to
set in the right direction and the map is set.
(ii) With the help of objects:
Find out some prominent objects which are on the nearby ground and are also shown in the
map. Place a foot rule on the map and see the alignment and approximate distance of such
objects and set your map accordingly on the ground. Thus by seeing prominent objects like
road, bridges, river, temple, well etc. the map can be set.
After setting the map you can read and compare known or unknown objects on the ground.
With the use of conventional signs, use grid references to show the exact position of the
map. Find out the route both on the map and on the ground. You may describe the route by
giving bearings, prominent objects on the route and various distances.
5. FIRST AID :
6a) Wounds and know how to deal with Bleeding, Burns and Scalds, Sprains,
Stings and Bites.
5 .a. Wounds and Wound Care
The skin is a barrier to the outside world protecting the body from infection, radiation, and
extremes of temperature.
There are many types of wounds that can damage the skin including
37
a) abrasions,
b) Lacerations,
c) Rupture injuries,
d) punctures, and penetrating wounds.
Many wounds are superficial requiring local first aid including cleansing and dressing.Some
wounds are deeper and need medical attention to prevent infection and loss of function, due to
damage to underlying structures like bone, muscle, tendon, arteries and nerves.
The purpose of medical care for wounds is to prevent complications and preserve function.
Cuts or Lacerations
Cuts and lacerations are both terms that apply to a

tear in the skin, though a laceration implies a more
jagged tear. These terms do not include abrasions
Puncture Wound
A puncture wound is caused by an object piercing the

skin such as nails, glass,
... Removing Stitches
Stitches or sutures are methods used to close

wounds, cuts, lacerations, or surgical procedures.
Wound Signs and Symptoms :
The most common symptoms of a wound are pain, swelling, and bleeding. The amount of pain,
swelling, and bleeding of a wound depends upon the location of the injury and the mechanism of
injury.
Some large lacerations may not hurt very much if they are located in an area that has few nerve
endings, while abrasions of fingertips (which has a greater number of nerves) can be very painful, for
example, a paper cut.
Some lacerations may bleed more if the area involved has a greater number of blood vessels, for
example, the scalp and face.
Wound Home Remedies :
Most wounds may be cared for at home. Superficial abrasions and lacerations can be cleaned,
an antibacterial ointment applied, and then covered with a band-aid or light bandage.
Bleeding can often be controlled with direct pressure to the wound, and if possible, elevating the
bleeding site above the level of the heart. This allows gravity to help decrease blood flow to the
injury. Most bleeding will stop within 10 minutes, at which point, a dressing can be placed over the
wound.
3 b. BURNS and SCALDS

BURN is an injury caused by dry heat (FLAME) such as fire, a piece of hot metal or sun-
friction with revolving wheel,fast moving rope-lightning –corrosive chemicals like acids and alkalies.
38
SCALD is an injury caused by moist heat such as boiling water,steam,hot oil (HOT LIQUIDS AND
VAPOURS) or tar.
Burns
Types of burn
SUPERFICIAL BURNS affect the top layer of skin only. Eg mild sunburn.
 PARTIAL-THICKNESS BURNS cause deeper damage. The skin forms blisters and is painful.
 FULL-THICKNESS BURNS damage all layers of skin. The skin is white or charred black. There
may be little or no pain, as the nerve endings are destroyed. These often require skin grafting.
 ELECTRICAL BURNS can cause damage inside the body even if there is little damage to the
skin..
SEVERE BURNS - Treatment

· Start cooling the burn immediately under running water for at least 10 minutes
· Make the casualty as comfortable as possible, lie them down.
· Continue to pour copious amounts of cold water over the burn for at least ten minutes or until the
pain is relieved.
· Whilst wearing disposable gloves, remove jewelers, watch or clothing from the affected area –
unless it is sticking to the skin.
· Cover the burn with clean, non-fluffy material to protect from infection. Cloth, a clean plastic bag or
kitchen film all make good dressings.
MINOR BURNS - Treatment
For minor burns, hold the affected area under cold water for at least 10 minutes or until the pain
subsides. Remove jewelers etc. and cover the burn as detailed above. If a minor burn is larger than a
` postage stamp it requires medical attention. All deep burns of any size require urgent hospital
treatment.
CLOTHING ON FIRE - Treatment

· Stop the casualty panicking or running – any movement or breeze will fan the flames.
· Drop the casualty to the ground.
· If possible, wrap the casualty tightly in a coat, curtain or blanket (not the nylon or cellular type),
rug or
other heavy-duty fabric. The best fabric is wool.
· Roll the casualty along the ground until the flames have been smothered.
ON ALL BURNS DO NOT
· Use lotions, ointments and creams
· Use adhesive dressings
· Break blisters
TREATMENT :
1. Remove casualty from source of heat (STOP-DROP-WRAP-ROLL-COOL).
2. Lay the casualty down.
If possible protecting the burned area from contact with the ground.
3. Avoid handling the affected area more than is necessary
4. Cool skin area affected with copious amount of cold liquid (WATER) at least 10 minutes or more.
5. While cooling the burn ,check air way,breathing and pulse, and prepared to resuscitate if
necessary.
6. Gently remove any constrictions ( RING,WATCHES,BELTS,SHOES before swelling starts).
39
7. Carefully remove burned clothing unless it is sticking to the burn.

8. Prevent infection by covering the area in clean dressing and apply bandage to keep the dressing in
position to other suitable materils. (Freshly laundered Towel, Table cloth).
9. In case of face, the dressing should be in the shape of a mask with holes for breathing only, near
the level of the nose.
10. Immobilise the affected area by suitable means.
11. Treat the casualty for shock.
12. arrange for medical aid – Send him to hospital without delay.
NOTE :-
# Do not apply cream or lotion of any kind.
# Do not remove burned clothing.
# do not break blisters.
3 c. Sprains
Sprain is caused by sudden jerk straining or tearing the ligaments at joints.
The commonest sites for a sprain are ANKLE-KNEE-WRIST-ELBOW
SIGNS:-
1. Pain at the joint and inability to use the joint with increasing pain.
2. Swelling and later on, discolouration.
TREATMENT :-
1. Place the limb in a comfortable position preferably elevated, and prevent movement.
2. Expose the joint and apply a firm bandage.
3. Wet the bandage, and keep it wet with cold water.
3 d. Stings and Bites

Land Cretures
· Bees - remove the sting by sliding or scraping your fingernail across it, rather than pulling at it.
Wash the area and apply ice to reduce the swelling. If the person has an allergy to beestings,
they can fall into a life threatening state of anaphylactic shock. The only treatment is an injection of
adrenaline. Immobilize the person, apply pressure to the bite and seek immediate medical help.
· Funnel web spider - seek immediate medical help. Bandage the wound firmly. Use a second
bandage to wrap the arm or leg and splint the affected limb. Antivenom is required.
· Red back spider - wash the affected area well and soothe the pain with ice packs or iced
water.
Don't bandage the area.
· Snakes - seek immediate medical help. Not all Australian snakes are venomous; however, you
should follow the basic first aid techniques, just in case. Don't wash the skin, as traces of venom
40
left behind might be needed by medical personnel to identify the snake. Bandage and splint the
limb. If the person was bitten on the torso, make sure your bandaging doesn't restrict their
breathing.
· Tick - if a tick has burrowed into the skin, douse it with alcohol or methylated spirits then
carefully pull it out with tweezers, making sure you remove the entire body of the tick. In the case of
the
Australian paralysis tick, ant venom is available. A tetanus injection might also be needed.
Sea Creatures
· Blue-ringed octopus - a bite can cause paralysis; seek immediate medical help. You may need
to resuscitate the person. Even if your efforts seem futile, continue resuscitation until medical
help arrives.
· Box jellyfish - seek immediate medical help. Stop the tentacles from stinging by pouring vinegar
over them. Immobilize the limb and bandage firmly. You may need to resuscitate the person.
Antivenin is available.
· Jellyfish - wash the tentacles off with water. Use ice packs or anesthetic cream to reduce the
pain.
· Stonefish - seek immediate medical help. Bathe the area in warm water. Antivenin is available.
A tetanus injection might be needed.
Where to get help?

· Ambulance officers
· Casualty department of the nearest hospital
· Your doctor.
Things to remember
· In most cases, firmly bandage the site of the wound and keep the person still.
· Don't use tourniquets, cut the puncture site or try to suck out the venom.
· Always seek medical advice as quickly as you can.
5.b) Demonstrate the use of roller bandages and triangular bandages collar and cuff sling and
triangular suspension sling.
The roller bandage Consists of a long strip of material (usually gauze,

muslin,or elastic)that is wound into a cylindrical shape.
In applying a roller bandage, hold the roll in the right hand so that the loose end is on the
bottom.
Bandages should be applied evenly, firmly, but not too tightly.
41
Width
Fingers - 1 inch Head and Arm - 2 - 2 ½ inch
Leg - 3 – 3 ½ ― Trunk - 4 – 6 inch
A. Four tailed Bandage B. Applied to chin C. Applied to nose.
5c) Triangular Bandages:

Triangular bandages made by cutting a 36‖ to 40‖ square of a piece of cloth
and then cutting the square diagonally, thus making two triangular bandages. The triangular
bandage is useful because it can be folded in a variety of ways to fit almost any part of the
body.
Open Bandage Once Fold Broad Bandage Narrow Bandage
Bandages
1. Triangular Sling or St. John Sling 2. Head Bandage
3. Collar and Cuff Sling 4. Arm Sling
5. Knee Bandage 6. Palm Bandage
42
Arm Sling
This supports the forearm and hand and is used in case of fractured ribs, in case of wounds and
injuries of the upper limbs. When the bandage has been applied, the base should be at the root of the
little fingernail so that all the fingernails are exposed. A bluish tinge of the fingernail indicates that
there is a dangerous constriction
interfering with the circulation in the upper limb. The bandage should be kept as low as possible at
the back of the ne and below the collar of a coat if worn
Collar and Cuff Sling
This is used to support the wrist. To apply a collar and cuff sling the casualty‘s elbow and lay his
forearm across his chest with his fingers touching his opposite shoulder. Pass a clove hitch round his
wrist and tie the ends of the bandages in the hollow just above the collar-bone.
Triangular Sling (St.John Sling)

This keeps the hand well raised and is used in the case of a fracture collar – bone. Place the casualty
fore arm
across his chest so that his fingers point towards the shoulder and the center of the palm rest on the
breast – bone.
Improvised Slings
Slings may be improvised in many simple ways, for example, by pinning the sleeve to the clothing by
turning up and pinning the lower edge of the coat; by passing the hand inside the buttoned coat or
waist coat. Scarves, ties, belts. And the like many also be used as slings.
5 d) . Improvised Stretchers :
Using Blanket - Using Rope - Using Shirt - Using Scarf - Using Belt
Rules for carrying casualties on Stretchers

1. Start with 2 poles longer than the victim is tall – fold blankets or a tent fly over the poles to
form a stretcher.
2. As a general rule, carry a casualty feet first.
3. During an evacuation, stretcher bearers should trade off with each other to conserve
their strength.
4. At least one rescuer should monitor the patient at all times in order to note any changes in his
her vital signs.
6. ESTIMATION WITH THE HELP OF IMPROVISED APPARATUS, ESTIMATE TWO

DISTANCES/WIDTHS OF NOT MORE THAN 100 METRES BUT NOT LESS THAN 30 METRES
43
Width
Similar Triangular Method :
River Width = AX
A to B = 10 steps (Approximate)
B to C = 10 steps (Same distance as A
to B)
Move C to D up to you get the straight line of

DBX
C D = A X (i.e., C D is the width of the river)
Napoleon Method :
Stand on one shore. Bend your head,
chin against chest. Hold your hand to your
forehead, palm down. Move hand down
until the front edge of it seems to touch
the opposite shore. Now make half right
turn ‘transferring’ the distance to the point
which the edge of your hand seems to
touch is the width of the river, place it.
Napoleon would have used the brim of his
hat instead of his hand. So would you if
you had on a broad-brim Scout hat.
Compass Method :
Stand on the one side of a river (B) notice
a rock exactly opposite to you on
the other side of the river (A). point the travel
direction arrow of your compass at the rock.
Turn the dial until the compass needle lies over
the orienting arrow, north point pointing N.
Read the degrees (in this case 120) Add 45
(making if 165). Walk along the river pointing
the travel arrow toward A. when the compass is
oriented,
stop . Distance CB is the width of the river.
HEIGHT TO FIND HEIGHT Lumber‘s man method or Tree-felling method : TREE FELLING
METHOD 1.Take a STICK or PENCIL and stand away from the
bottom of the TREE. Move back and forth to adjust your position
such that the bottom of the STICK or PENCIL coinsides with the
bottom of the tree and the top of the STICK or PENCIL coinsides
with top of the TREE. Tilt the STICK or PENCIL and touch the
ground assuming that you are tilting the tree 2. Make e
a SCOUT/GUIDE to stand in the point where the STICK or PENCIL
touches the ground. Measure the distance between the
SCOUT/GUIDE and the bottom of the tree to obtain the height of the
TREE
44
Shadow Method : The method can be used only if the

sun is able to cast a shadow. First is we measure the
shadow cast by the tree (from the base of the tree to the
shadow of it's top), we label this length as AB. We then
measure the shadow cast by someone or an object of
known height, we label this as CD. We merely solve
the unknown height by use of proportions, by equating:
AB = KNOWN / CD
AB - Length of the shadow cast by tree. CD - Length of the shadow cast by a known height
Inch-to-Foot Method: From the foot of the object you

are to measure pace eleven (11) units, we label it
distance AB. A unit can be any number of paces, so if
we say our unit is five paces then 11 units is equivalent
to 55 paces. Place something to mark the point B. From
B take one more unit forward, this is distance BC.
From location C lie down on the ground such that your
eyes are close to the ground as possible. Sight the tree
with the marker on B in your line of sight. Note where
your line of sight cuts the marker to the tip of the tree.
That spot is labeled as D. The distance of BD in inches
is the estimated height of tree in feet.
6 B) Know the length of your stride/Pace and using this, estimate the distance
travelled.

PIONEERING
DRAW HITCH is also called Highway

man‘s Hitch useful to tie anywhere to untie
quickly e.g. pointer of boat to a ring for going up and
coming down and taking the rope back.
50
Fireman‘s Chair Knot is Used lowering

a person from high building in case of fire or other
emergency. It is tied at about the middle of the rope
without using its ends. The shorter loop is kept around
the chest under the armpit, whereas the longer loop
will function as the seat. The descending is done very
carefully, checking the upper end of the rope secured
with a turn around some strong pillar or pole
Man harness Knot:

This knot is useful when two or three
people have to haul something heavy like a log of
wood or a trek cart. The arm is inserted into the loop
and load is taken on the shoulder.
BOWLINE ON A BIGHT ;
The Bowline on a bight is a knot
which makes a pair of fixed-size loops in the
middle of a rope. Its advantage is that it is
reasonably easy to untie after being exposed to a
strain. This knot can replace the figure-eight knot
when tying into a climbing harness.
DIAGONAL LASHING
USES : WHEN THE POLES ARE CROSSING EACH OTHER ( CROSS BRACING), THIS LASHING IS USED FOR LOAD
BEARING THIS LASHING IS USED.
Diagonal Lashing
START BY TYING A TIMBER HITCH DIAGONALLY
AROUND BOTH POLES.
2. Wrap the rope around the both poles three or four times in
the same direction.
3. Start the second set of wrapping turns by going past and
around the vertical pole.
4. Guide the rope horizontally between the two poles.
5. Wrap the rope around the knot between the poles. This is
called FRAPPING. Pull the frapping as tight as possible.
6. Finish the lashing with a clove hitch around the end
of a cross piece.
51
1c) Another method of WHIPPING :
West Country Whipping

Useful for marking the bight of a rope, pass the twine
around the rope so that the ends are of equal length.
Next pass the two ends of the twine around the rope
in opposite directions and half-knot them on the
other side. Now bring the ends up and half knot them
again. Continue in this fashion, making a half-knot at
every half turn, so that the half-knots alternate
between opposite sides of the rope. When a
sufficient number of turns have been completed,
finish off the whipping with a reef knot.
American Whipping
Similar to the common whipping except that the first
end of the twine is left out clear before starting the
second series of turns; it is completed by tying a reef
knot and then trimming the ends.
Sailmaker’s Whipping
1.Get the end of the rope to be whipped in one hand.
2.Get the twine in your other hand.
3.Poke the end of the twine through the rope passing
under one of the strands. About 200mm from the end
of the rope.
4.Now pass the twine over the next rope strand and
then through the rope again going under the last
strand. It should come out between the same two
strands you first poked it through.
Pull the twine through to give yourself about 200mm
hanging out.
5.Leave about 50mm of bight hanging at the back.
6.You should now be ready to start whipping.

Flag Mast could be 18 to 20 feet high. At this height the persons standing in the horse
shoe can see the flag during flag procedure when they are in attention. The mast can be of a single
Pole or 3 or 4 staffs lashed together.
Close to the MAST HEAD (TOP) is the Ring through which the EYE SPLICE end of the
HALYARD is passed from left to right.
Cleat is fixed to the mast at a height of about 3.5 feet from the ground ( at the level of
the waist) by a square lashing. The Ring and the cleat should be on the same side of the mast,
facing the horse shoe in which the SCOUTS/GUIDES stand.
The Flag will have a STAY ROPE of a length equal to 1 ½ times the width of the flag
and holds this rope in its seam. The STAY ROPE is stitched with the seam and fixed.
A toggle is tied to the upper end of the stay rope by CLOVEHITCH (sometimes even EYE
SPLICING). The lower end of the rope will have an EYE SPLICE to be tied to the halyard by a
DOUBLE SHEET BEND.
The HOIST end of the flag is close to the toggle and the fly end is away from the seam.
The HALYARD is never more than double the length of the FLAG MAST. The upper end
of the halyard has an EYE SPLICE sufficient to hold the TOGGLE. The lower end is whipped or back
spliced and is secured to the eye splice of the stay rope of the flag by a DOUBLE SHEET BEND. The
Halyard gets a bend below the level of the cleat and should hang free from the ground.
The halyard holding the folded flag at mast head is secured tight to the cleat ( the left
hand portion of halyard ) with a CLOVE HITCH close to the mast. The Extra halyard with a bend
below the cleat is wound round the cleat in FIGURE OF EIGHT fashion.
When the Flag Mast is not fixed in the ground, it is secured by three GUYLINES
anchored to three pegs by ROUND TURN and TWO HALF HITHES. Guylines are secured to the flag
mast by CLOVE HITCH or ROLLING HITCHES at height of 1/2 to 2/3 the height of the flag mast.
The three pegs are fixed in a circle with 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 the height of the mast as
diameter.
53
1E) Make a TEMPORARY SHELTER
Improvising a Tent or a Shelter:

One may use staffs and sheets to make a tent. It should be sufficiently big for two
scouts/guides to sleep in. Also make a shelter from available material like hay, straws, bamboos,
branches of trees etc. Use correct lashings and knots while making an improvised tent or shelter.
Such tent and shelters should be made use of during a week end camp or a patrol hike. It
is a pleasure to stay in a house prepared by ourselves.
MAKE A HUT FOR A PATROL WITH LOCALLY AVAILABLE MATERIAL
If you can‘t make a lean-to, you can make an A-frame shelter. You‘ll need two sticks four
or five feet long and one stick 10 to 12 feet long. Prop the two shorter sticks up in the shape of the
letter A. Prop the longer stick up at the top of the A. Tie the three sticks together where they meet.
The three sticks will be in the shape of an A-frame tent with one end collapsed against the ground.
Now prop up more sticks against the longer stick, and pile forest debris against the sticks until you
have an insulated shelter open at the high end.
It is sufficiently big for two scouts/guides to sleep in. Also make a shelter from available
material like hay, straws, bamboos, branches of trees etc. Use correct lashings and knots while
making an improvised tent or shelter.
Such tent and shelters should be made use of during a week end camp or a patrol hike. It

1 f) SPLICING ROPE SPLICING IS THE FORMING OF A SEMI-PERMANENT JOINT

BETWEEN TWO ROPES
Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope,
or for joining two ropes together.
Most types of splices are used on 3 strand rope.
THE USE OF CROWN KNOT : USED TO START BACK SPLICE

1. (i) SWIMMING
(a) Swim Fifty Metres
(b) Know the SAFETY RULES OF SWIMMING
2. (I) SWIMMING:
Swimming is the best exercise. Every scout/guide should learn swimming as early as
possible S.M. /G.C. should make all efforts to see that all our scouts/guides learn swimming and
practice it very well. However care should be taken to prevent any accident or mishappening.
Following are few DONT‘S to be strictly followed:
NEVER:
 Swim alone.
 Swim when you are tired or very hot or just after meals.
 Swim in strange places.
 Stay in too long stay in if you are tired or feel cold.
 Swim out to open waters (sea)
 Swim across a river
55
 Swim after a drifting object or person

 Use floating air-beds
 Fool about with others in the water
Above are the GOLDEN RULES FOR ALL SCOUTS AND GUIDES. Only the ignorance and
stupidity cause most deaths in drowning.
MUSCLE CRAMPING DURING SWIMMING

This is due to sudden involuntary and painful contraction of a voluntary muscle
or group of muscles. It is caused due to chilling or tiredness during swimming. In case of such
muscle cramp, the swimmer should breathe in deeply and remain steady on water for some time.
Then slowly try to come to the shore.

2. ESTIMATION :
Be able to Estimate HEIGHT,DEPTH,WIDTH,NUMBERS & WEIGHTS

using recognized methods of Estimation
(A) To estimate HEIGHT up to 30 METRES

(i) Twelve to one method :
From the object pace II units with a stick and get someone to hold a staff at the 11 th
point. Now pace one more unit in the same direction and lie on the ground keeping your eye
nearest to the 12th point and looking towards the top of the object (TREE), your sight cuts the
staff at some point. Mark that point on the staff. MEASURE the height of that point in inches.
The object is that many feet high i.e. It is 12 times higher.
(B) Estimating the depth up to 30 metres:

i. Use a rope or a twine with some heavy object tied to it. Let it reach the bottom.
Measure the rope. It is the depth.
ii. For measuring the depth of an open well if you see the equal layers of bricks or
masonry work, court the layers and multiple by the height of each layer.(unit
method)
(C) To estimate the weight up to 2 kilograms:
You eliminate the weight without lifting the object because the mass and
Density varies for different materials like iron, wood, stone, aluminum etc. Practice to feel the
weight from smaller to bigger weights i.e. 100gms .200 gms.500 gms. And so on. Play this as a
game by blind folding yourselves. To measure approximately with an improvised apparatus
there is a suggested method:
Take a stick or rod of equal thickness throughout the length. Know the
weight of one object like your shoe knife, torch, cap etc. Now hang that object to be weighted
56
to the other end. Now lift the stick from some point so that the stick is equally balanced. Then
measure the distance from the point to both the ends.
Use the following formula:

W1×D1=W2×D2
W2=W1×D1
D2
(Where W1 is the weight of the known object, D1 is its distance from the equilibrium point.W2
is the weight of the object of the object to be weighted & D2 is it distance)
3. FIRST AID:
i) How to deal with emergency situations such as DROWNING
 Someone is drowning
1. Get Help
2. Move the Person
3. Check for Breathing
4. If the Person is Not Breathing, Check Pulse
5. If There is No Pulse, Start CPR
 For an adult or child, place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest at the nipple line.
You can also push with one hand on top of the other. For an infant, place two fingers on the
breastbone.
 For an adult or child, press down about 2 inches. Make sure not to press on ribs. For an infant, press
down about 1 and 1/2 inches. Make sure not to press on the end of the breastbone.
 Do 30 chest compressions, at the rate of 100 per minute or more. Let the chest rise completely
between pushes.
 Check to see if the person has started breathing.
Note that these instructions are not meant to replace CPR training. Classes are available through the
American Red Cross, local hospitals, and other organizations.
6. Repeat if Person Is Still Not Breathing
 If you've been trained in CPR, you can now open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the
chin.
 Pinch the nose of the victim closed. Take a normal breath, cover the victim's mouth with yours to
create an airtight seal, and then give 2 one-second breaths as you watch for the chest to rise.
 Give 2 breaths followed by 30 chest compressions.
 Continue this cycle of 30 compressions and 2 breaths until the person starts breathing or emergency
help arrives.
Electric shock
Electric current can cause severe damage to the body. The skin is burned
where the energy enters the body and where it leaves into the ground. Along the path of this flow
57
tissues are damaged, significant chemical changes take place in the nerves, heart and muscles, and
the body processes are disrupted or completely shut down.
How to Treat an Electric Shock
Identification / look out for in case of an Electric Shock:
Unconsciousness
Burns
Establish site of entry and exit of electric shock
What to do:
Switch off the main switch.
Break the contact between electrical source and patient using dry non-conductive object like
wooden stick.
Call for help.
If breathing and heartbeat has stopped begin C.P.R
If breathing, but unconscious : Recovery Position
Treat any Burns
Treat for Shock
GENERAL SHOCK
(A) SHOCK:
SHOCK IS THE SUDDEN DEPRESSION OF THE VITAL FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY.
(2 Types of shock NERVOUS,ESTABLISHED SHOCK)
Nervous Shock:-
Due to strong emotional upset Bad News/ Good News. ( Fear – Pain )
Established Shock (TRUE) :-
Severe Burns ( Loss of Plasma ), Severe Bleeding, Heart Attack, Loss of Body Fluid (
Dehyderation), Abdominal Emergencies ( Appendix burst, Intestinal Obstruction ) , Bacterial
Infection).
SYMPTOMS OF SHOCK
(i) Feeling cold (ii) Sweating (iii) Difficulty in breathing

(iv) Thirst (v) Face and lips pale (vi) Dry Tongue
(vii) Cold and moist skin (viii) Rapid weak pulse IX) Short rapid breathing
(X) Unconscious
Find out whether conscious

Try to ascertain the cause
Let casualty lie flat on his back with head little lower level than their Legs which are little raised
If he vomits, turn him to one side
Loosen all tight clothings
Wipe all sweat
Cover with plan sheet or blanket
Nothing to be given by mouth except sips of water or cracked ice
if conscious
Arrangement to be made to be shifted to the HOSPITAL
ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

1. Check yourself first: If you have been injured in the accident, first check yourself for any injuries..
58
2.Check the other person(s) for injuries: If other people are injured, first assess the extent of his/ her
injuries.. Treat the quietest person first, Ask for the patient‘s name,
3. Look for signs of breathing:
4. Call for help:
5. Check for obstructions in the person‘s mouth and throat:
6. Perform life saving techniques: If there is no pulse, start CPR or EAR. Keep the person‘s neck
straight to start EAR (External Air Resuscitation) or CPR (Cardio pulmonary resuscitation). There are
3 types of EAR; Mouth-to-mouth, Mouth-to-Nose, Mouth-to-Mask. You could read more about how to
perform EAR and CPR here.
7. Ways to help him/her in grave situations: If there is bleeding from the mouth or the patient is
vomiting, turn the person to his/her side. This will avoid any chances of the person choking.
8. Deal with open wounds: If there are extensive wounds, try to control the bleeding using pressure
to the area using a cloth. Press down with your palms rather than your finger tips.
9. Always suspect spinal injuries: Do not move the patient. Get help immediately.
10. Keep the person warm:
11. Avoid feeding the person:
Tips to remember while shifting a person to the hospital
1. Keep the person‘s neck and back straight. You could place a rolled up towel or thick cloth under
the neck for better support.
2. Ensure that the person is lying down flat.
3. If there is only a limb injury, the patient can be transported in a sitting position.
4. In case of a bleeding injury, lift the injured part above the person‘s body level and apply pressure
on the region. Keep applying pressure till you reach the hospital. This helps control and eventually
stop the bleeding.
5. Make sure the person has a pulse and is breathing on the way to the hospital. If he/she stops
breathing, be prepared to start CPR or EAR in the vehicle.
HUMAN BEING CAUGHT IN A FIRE
CLOTHING ON FIRE - Treatment

· Stop the casualty panicking or running – any movement or breeze will fan the flames.
· Drop the casualty to the ground.
· If possible, wrap the casualty tightly in a coat, curtain or blanket (not the nylon or cellular type),
rug or other heavy-duty fabric. The best fabric is wool.
· Roll the casualty along the ground until the flames have been smothered.
ON ALL BURNS DO NOT
· Use lotions, ointments and creams
· Use adhesive dressings
· Break blisters
TREATMENT :
1. Remove casualty from source of heat (STOP-DROP-WRAP-ROLL-COOL).
2. Lay the casualty down.
If possible protecting the burned area from contact with the ground.
3. Avoid handling the affected area more than is necessary
4. Cool skin area affected with copious amount of cold liquid (WATER) at least 10 minutes or more.
5. While cooling the burn ,check air way,breathing and pulse, and prepared to resuscitate if
necessary.
6. Gently remove any constrictions ( RING,WATCHES,BELTS,SHOES before swelling starts).
7. Carefully remove burned clothing unless it is sticking to the burn.
59
8. Prevent infection by covering the area in clean dressing and apply bandage to keep the dressing in
position to other suitable materils. (Freshly laundered Towel, Table cloth).
9. In case of face, the dressing should be in the shape of a mask with holes for breathing only, near
the level of the nose.
10. Immobilise the affected area by suitable means.
11. Treat the casualty for shock.
12. arrange for medical aid – Send him to hospital without delay.
NOTE :-
# Do not apply cream or lotion of any kind.

# Do not remove burned clothing.
# do not break blisters.
4 b) CHOKING TREATMENT A foreign object that is stuck at the back of the throat
may either block the throat or induce muscular spasm.
Treatment :
1. Ask the casualty to cough, but do not keep asking him to do so if he cannot cough up the foreign
object.
2. Bend the casualty well forward at the waist and give up to five sharp slaps between the
shoulder blades with the flat of your hand.
3. If the slaps fail, try upto 5 abdominal thrusts. Put your arms around the casualty‘s trunk, link
your hands below the rib cage (pit of the stomach) and pull sharply inwards and upwards.
The obstructing object may be expelled by the force against the casualty‘s diaphragm.
1. continue alternating back slaps and abdominal thrusts until the obstruction clears.
KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH CHOCKING BY HEIMLICH‘S MANOEUVRE
The technique is called the ―Heimlich maneuver,‖ or ―abdominal thrusts.‖ Abdominal thrusts
lift the diaphragm and expel air from the lungs. This causes the foreign object to be expelled from
the airway.
Determine whether you need to perform abdominal thrusts. A person who is choking may be
able to dislodge the object on his or her own.
If the person is not coughing or is unable to speak, or if he or she signals for help, ask him or
her stand up.
Then take the following steps:1. Position yourself behind the person.
2. Place your arms around his or her waist.

3. Make a fist and place it just above the navel, thumb side in.
4. Grab the fist with your other hand and push it inward and upward at the same time.
5. Repeat the maneuver until the object is expelled.
6. If the person cannot stand up, straddle the person‘s waist, facing the head. Push your fist inward
and upward in the same manner as you would if he or she were standing.
7. The choking person should also seek medical help to ensure there is no physical damage to the
throat and airways.

FRACTURES ; Breaking or cracking of a bone is called a fracture.

It is caused due to direct OR indirect violence
SIGNS OF A FRACTUIRE: EIPSDUC
E-Loss of Energy I-Irregularity P-Pain S-Swelling D-Deformity U-Unnatural mobility
C-Crepitus (cracking sound)
GENERAL MANAGEMENT:
Do not try to straighten the limb
Cover the wound (if any) with a sterile dressing. No pressure applied over broken bone.
Don not waste tome overelaborate and fancy bandaging.
Use plenty of padding to fill natural hollows.
Immobilize above & below the joint.
Immobilize arm against trunk and leg against the other leg.
Avoid using rigid splints.
Always use padding before bandaging.
Treat for shock.
Arrange for removal to the hospital.
a. COLLER BONE FRACTURE
Call 198 if:
The person is experiencing tingling.
There is numbness or weakness in the hand or arm.
The injury is near the sternum and the person is having shortness of breath or difficulty swallowing.
The person is experiencing tingling.
There is numbness or weakness in the hand or arm.
The injury is near the sternum and the person is having shortness of breath or difficulty swallowing.
1. Get Medical Help Immediately
Get the person to a hospital emergency room or to a health care provider.
2. Immobilize the Arm
Avoid moving the affected arm.
Hold the arm close to the body with the other arm or a sling with the hand raised higher than the
elbow.
3. Reduce Pain and Swelling
Apply ice for pain and swelling.
61
Give over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil,Motrin) for pain unless there is a
break in the skin over the fracture, which may require surgery.
4. Follow Up
The health care provider will examine the shoulder and may X-ray the shoulder and chest.
The health care provider may put the arm in a sling to immobilize it and apply a figure eight strap to
help maintain shoulder position. Surgery is rarely required.
FRACTURE OF THE COLLAR BONE:

Apply loose padding in the armpit of affected side.
Apply braces.
Tie a triangular sling.
Fracture of Arm:
i. Slowly flex the elbow and bring the forearm against the chest.
ii. Tie a collar and cuff sling.
iii. Use a transverse bandage around the chest fixing the arm to the chest.
d. Hip Pain: Causes and Treatment
1. Hip fracture is a serious orthopaedic condition and surgery is required to treat it.
62
2. Hip fractures are much more common in the elderly due to the weakening of bones due to
ageing. However, this does not mean that the younger people will not suffer from hip fracture.
3. Do not attempt to move the patient as it may worsen the condition. Tell the Docter about
what happened and describe to him the patient‘s condition.
4. Always try to let the patient feel as comfortable as possible. If able, try to place a soft
object such as a cushion or pillow under his head. Although the patient looks weak and pale, do not
give him any food or drinks to consume as he may have to undergo a surgery immediately and his
stomach needs to be empty to prevent any complications.
5. Immobilise his legs with thick layers of soft materials such as towels and hold them in
place with heavy objects. Be generous with the padding and they should go from above the hips to
below the knee.
6. Check for signs of shock for the patient. Shock can be life threatening and the earlier it is
treated, the higher the chances of survival and recovery. Some common signs of shock include
sweating, rapid pulse, weak breathing, weak pulse and vomiting.
7. Help the patient remove any skin tight clothing and if the victim is of an opposite sex, find a
female passerby who is willing to stay with you until the paramedics arrive as a witness in case of
any accusation of molest. Help the patient remain warm and calm him down. Try to keep him
conscious by talking to him and providing him lots of fresh air.
4 d). SYMPTOMS OF HEAT STROKE

Heatstroke occurs when your body temperature rises rapidly and you're unable to cool down.
It can be life-threatening by causing damage to your brain and other vital organs. It may be caused
by strenuous activity in the heat or by being in a hot place for too long.
Heatstroke can occur without any previous heat-related condition, such as heat exhaustion.
Heatstroke signs and symptoms include:
 Fever of 104 F (40 C) or greater

 Changes in mental status or behavior, such as confusion, agitation, slurred speech
 Hot, dry skin or heavy sweating
 Nausea and vomiting
 Flushed skin
 Rapid pulse
 Rapid breathing
 Headache
 Fainting, which may be the first sign in older adults
Seek emergency medical care
If you suspect heatstroke, call your local emergency number. Then immediately move the
person out of the heat and cool him or her by whatever means available, for example:
 Put the person in a cool tub of water or a cool shower.

 Spray with a garden hose.
 Sponge with cool water.
 Fan while misting with cool water.
 Place ice packs or cool wet towels on the neck, armpits and groin.
63
 Cover with cool damp sheets.

Let the person drink cool water or other nonalcoholic beverage without caffeine, if he or she is able.
Begin CPR if the person loses consciousness and shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing,
coughing or movement.
4 e). CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including
heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. Everyone — untrained
bystanders and medical personnel alike — begin CPR with chest compressions.
It's far better to do something than to do nothing at all if you're fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren't
100 percent complete. Remember, the difference between your doing something and doing nothing could be
someone's life.
Here's advice
 Untrained. If you're not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR..

 Begin with chest compressions instead of first checking the airway and doing rescue breathing. Start CPR
with 30 chest compressions before checking the airway and giving rescue breaths.
 Trained but rusty. Just do chest compressions at a rate of about 100 a minute.
 CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more definitive medical
treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm.
When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause brain damage in only a few minutes. A person
may die within eight to 10 minutes.
RESUSCITATION
The method of choice is mouth to nose or mouth to mouth respiration as follows:
(i) Turn the casualty over his back.
(ii) Push the head back and extend the neck.
(iii) Clear his mouth by wrapping handkerchief around your finger.
(iv) Take a deep breath and seal your mouth to the nose or mouth of the casualty and breathe in firmly
into mouth or nose
(v) Turn your head sideways as the casualty breathes out.
(vi) Give first five puffs rapidly and then breathe in 8 to 12 puffs a minute.
(vii) Watch the rise of his chest. It must rise when you puff in.
64
(viii) Maintain this rhythm for about one hour or until he breathes on his own.f vomit occurs, turn his
head on one side, clean his mouth as done earlier and start breathing in again.
4 f). HOW to place an unconscious victim in the recovery

position
1. The casualty should be in as near a true lateral position as possible with the head dependent
to allow free drainage of fluid.
2. The position should be stable.
3. Any pressure of the chest that impairs breathing should be avoided.
4. It should be possible to turn the victim onto the side and return to the back easily and safely,
having particular regard to the possibility of cervical spine injury.
5. Good observation of and access to the airway should be possible.
6. The position itself should not give rise to any injury to the casualty.
4 g) . Transportation of victim
5 . MAPPING
The plane table is one of the best instruments for topographic surveying, as with it the
map is actually drawn in the field where the features can be seen and where the amount of detail
to be mapped and the accuracy required can be judged to the best advantage .
General equipment used for conducting plane table method are
Plane table
Drawing sheet and drawing pins
Metre Scale
Paper clips or screws
Methodology :
1. Before sketching a map of a particular area, stand in the center of the place and
observe all objects round carefully. Then decide the object to be referred to in the
map.
2. To draw a map approximately fix a center point X on the ground.
65
3. Fix a paper on a table. The top portion should face the north direction and mark N
on the right top corner.
4. Fix in such a way that marked X on the land and paper should exactly coincide one
over the other.
5. The object A on the ground and X can be connected through a straight line by fixing
pins.
6. Measure the distance between XA . As per the measurement A should be marked
from X in a straight line.
Follow the same method to name and mark other objects B , C , D & E
available in the ground , mark all the points and frame the map.
Advantages :
a) It is simple and cheaper
b) It is most suitable for small scale maps
c) No great skill is required
d) It is useful in magnetic areas where compass may not be used
Disadvantages :
a) It is not intended for very accurate works
b) It is not suitable in monsoon
c) It is essentially a TROPICAL INSTRUMENT
d) Since there are so many accessories, there is likelihood of them being lost
TRIANGULATION METHOD :
( Without Compass)
Methodology :
1. Before sketching a map of a particular area, stand in the center of the place and
observe all objects round carefully. Then decide the object to be referred to in the
map.
2. Mark the boundary of the sketch and mark the objects nearby.
3. Keeping in mind the size of the paper and the land area, the scale of the map should
be decided.
4. To draw a map approximately fix a center point X on the ground.
66
5. Fix the scout staves at point Y on the land. In straight with ― X ―
6. Mark X & Y with a distance of 10 metres on the land, where the map to be drawn
7. Fix a paper on a table. The top portion should face the north direction and mark N
on the right top corner.
8. Fix in such a way that marked ―X‖ and ―Y‖ on the land and paper should exactly
coincide one over the other.
9. Draw the Straight line from the point ―X‘ to connect the objects A,B,C,D..
10 . Like that draw the Straight line from the point ―Y‘ to connect the objects A,B,C,D..
11. The points where the lines from AB cut are the places of the objects.
12 . Use the MAP SYMBOLS and the CONVENTIONAL signs.
13. All the marks points are connected to fix the boundaries
5 C). ROAD TRAVERSE METHOD
Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks.[1] It is also

used in geodesy. Traverse networks involve placing survey stations along a line or path of
67
travel, and then using the previously surveyed points as a base for observing the next point.
Traverse networks have many advantages, including:
 Less reconnaissance and organization needed;

 While in other systems, which may require the survey to be performed along a
rigid polygon shape, the traverse can change to any shape and thus can accommodate a great
deal of different terrains;
 Only a few observations need to be taken at each station, whereas in other survey networks a
great deal of angular and linear observations need to be made and considered;
 Traverse networks are free of the strength of figure considerations that happen in triangular
systems;
 Scale error does not add up as the traverse is performed. Azimuth swing errors can also be
reduced by increasing the distance between stations.
The traverse is more accurate than triangulateration[2] (a combined function of

the triangulation and trilateration
CONVENTION SIGNS IN MAPPING
CONVENTIONAL SIGNS is a symbolic representation of features of the GROUND

on the MAP.
6. TALK :
During the TROOP Meeting give a talk for about FIVE MINUTES on ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING SUBJECTS
A) National Integration
B) Your FUTURE SCOUT TRAINING
C) Gender Equality
68
7. OUT OF DOORS
a) Plan an Overnight Patrol Camp, Participate in a Night Game
b) Undertake a day hike of 10 kms on foot with Patrol/ Troop Members.
8. COOKING :
Cook food for your Patrol by using BACKWOODSMAN METHOD

Backwoods cooking is a method of cooking without the use of kitchen implements.
It commonly takes place in the backwoods, often in combination with wild or

conventional camping.
Some variants of backwoods cooking allow the use of items of cookware such as a cooking pot[
Some backwoods alternatives to cookware include: aluminium foil, fruit skins and heated stones.
Traditionally backwoods cooking takes place over a wood burning fire because wood is the most
available fuel source in the backwoods. [
As a result, some recipes include information about the intensity of the fire to be used.
Backwoods cooking is widely practiced within the Scouting movement.
While it is most associated with scouting today,
The term "backwoods cooking" pre-dates Scouting by at least 25 years.
Within scouting it may also be known as "lightweight cooking," which may also have
a focus on using aluminium foil for cookware for much lighter weight cooking. ]
COOKING POTATOS IN A BONFIRE STEAMING
Another commonly used technique is the baking of food in aluminum foil packets.
Food is wrapped inside a durable packet of tin or aluminum foil, crimped to seal, and placed on
or under hot coals.
Baked potatoes are commonly cooked this way but entire meals can be cooked in one packet.
Besides aluminum or tin, organic material such as leaves (of tree, "Nelumbo nucifera" lotus,
"Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro" bamboo aka Bambusa oldhamii (麻竹葉), phragmites, plantain, taro,
69
etc.), husks (of corn, "Phyllostachys makinoi" bamboo (桂竹籜), etc.), and skins of fruit (citrus, etc.)
are also frequently employed.
Tree leaves such as those from the banana tree do not burn/ignite as they contain enough oil to
resist the heat from the flames (at least until the frying is complete). The way to adapt recipes where
food is wrapped in foil is to use a barrier such as baking or silicone paper between the food and the
foil; the overall technique is similar to the en papillote technique developed in French cuisine, but
uses a more robust container.
Other simple methods include clay wrapping food (such as in the kleftiko method used in Greek
cuisine), leaf wrapping, and plank grilling,[3] where food is cooked on a wooden plank set above the
fire.
Hot-stone cooking, where food is placed on a heated stone next to or even in the fire or where fire-
heated stones are dropped into a pot are other methods.
9. SIGNALLING : Learn Morse signaling and be able to send and receive simple
messages of TEN WORDS
MORSE FLAG :
FLAGS FOR MORSE :
Single Flag used by British for WIG WAG MORSE SIGNALLING

For Morse Signal with single flag , The Flag should be of 2 feet square with slightly
curved corners and be made of light cotton material.
The flag can be white with a blue horizontal stripe of 3 ½‖ wide for use against dark
background. It can be all blue for use against light back ground.
The staff of the flag should be 3 ½ feet long and ¼‖ diameter with a tapering top of
½ ― diameter. The pole usually of light wood ( preferably BAMBOO STICKS). But aluminium
and PVC pipes of ¾‖ diameter can also be used. The Flag is tied to the staff with tapes.
The SWISS guides use RED FLAGS WITH WHITE STRIPES.
The BRITISH and in INDIA WHITE FLAG with BLUE STRIPE is usually used.
The French and the Swiss use TWO FLAGS (RIGHT ONE FOR DOT, LEFT ONE FOR DASH)
The BRITISH and in INDIA SINGLE FLAG is usually used. It is held to the left of the head
and movement of the flag to the right by 90 degree denotes ― DOT‖ and movement of the
flag by 135 degree to right denotes ― DASH‖.
Advantage : Morse System is Fast

Disadvantage : It is tiring

11. a) Knowledge of SCOUTING IN INDIA : DEVELOPMENT OF SCOUTING IN INDIA

 1909 Captain Baker, a retired officer of the OLD INDIAN NAVY who had settled in BANGLORE
started the BOY SCOUT ASSOCIATION. This was affiliated with Imperial Headquarters,
London.
 Captain T.HOLD started a troop at KIRKEE, Pune
 Major W.P.Pakenham Walsh claims to have started another Troop in Bangalore.
72
 Col .J.S Wilson and Sir Alfred Pickford did a lot of work to establish scouting in Calcutta.
These troops however were confined to EUROPEAN and ANGLO INDIAN SCOUTS only.
 In 1913 Mr. Vivian Bose established Scouting for INDIAN BOYS in central provinces on his
own. In 1915 Dr.Annie Besant and Dr. Arundale started Indian Boy Scouts Association in
MADRAS.
 In 1915, Scouting for Indian Boys was started in Bengal.
 In 1916, Boy scouts of Indian association for madras was inaugurated under the patronage of
the Governor.
 In 1918 on the suggestion of late Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, Pandit Sri Ram Bajbai settled
down at Allahabad to organize the BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT. Pandit Hirudia Nath Kunzuru
was requested to help in its development. The SEVA SAMITI SCOUT ASSOCIATION was
formed with its Headquarters at ALLAHABAD on 7-12-1919. This received the patronage of
the Governor of Utter Pradesh also.
 By 1919 network of scout association got created in various parts of the country.
BADEN POWELL‘s VISIT TO INDIA
 B.P and Lady B.P arrived in BOMBAY IN JANUARY 1921. RALLIES of scouts were held
wherever they went and the founder was much satisfied with the standard of scouting with
Indian Boys, which he observed in these rallies. He attended joint rallies of association at
ALLAHABAD, JABALPUR, LUCKNOW, RANCHI and MADRAS etc., in the rally at MADRAS he
expressed his high appreciation of the scout organization which he had found among Indians.
 At the invitation of Mrs. Annie Besant, the diverse sections joined in amalgamation into one
movement for all India.
 At a conference held in Madras on 9-2-1921, the terms of final amalgamation were agreed
upon. On these terms the SOUTH INDIAN BOY SCOUT ASSOCIATION agreed to amalgamate
with the Boy Scout Association and the Indian Boy Scout Association and Indian Boy Scout
Association in other provinces were also included. The SEVA SAMITI scout association
however, kept out of this merger.
 In 1937 , The first All India Boy Scouts Jamboree organized. Invitation was extended to Lord
& Lady Baden Powell. They arrived to India to participate in this JAMBOREE. After traveled
to different parts of this country, another attempt was then made to bring about the complete
merger of all the Scout and Guide Association in the country, but unfortunately this failed.
 In 1947 after independence at the invitation of the MINISTER OF EDUCATION another attempt
was made which resulted in the MERGER OF HINDUSTAN SCOUT ASSOCIATION ON 7-11-
1950., forming the BHARAT SCOUTS & GUIDES, The only NATIONAL SCOUT/GUIDE
ASSOCIATION. The Girl Guide Association also merged on15-8-1951.
11 b) WOSM
1. The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM /wʊzm/) is the largest
international Scouting organization.
73
2.WOSM has 164[3] members. These members are recognized national Scout organizations,
which collectively have over 40 million participants. [ 4]
3.
WOSM was established in 1922,[1][2] and has its operational headquarters at Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysiaand its legal seat in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the counterpart of the World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
4. The WOSM's current stated mission is "to contribute to the education of young people,
through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Scout Law, to help build a better world
where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society". [7]
5.WOSM is organized into regions and operates with a conference, committee and bureau.
6. The WOSM is associated with three World Scout Centres.
7.The World Scout Jamboree is held roughly every four years under the auspices of the
WOSM, with members of WAGGGS also invited.
8.WOSM also organises the World Scout Moot, a Jamboree for 17- to 26-year-olds, and has
organised the World Scout Indaba, a gathering for Scout leaders.
9.The World Scout Foundation is a perpetual fund governed by a separate Board of

Governors and supported by donations for the development of WOSM associated Scouting programs
throughout the world.
10. WOSM is a non-governmental organization with General Consultative Status to

the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).[8]
11 a) KNOWLEDGE OF GUIDING IN INDIA :
11 a) WAGGGS
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS /ˈwæɡz/) is a global association
supporting the female-oriented and female-only Guiding and Scouting organizations in 145 countries.
It was established in 1928 in Parád, Hungary, and has its headquarters in London, England. It is the
counterpart of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). WAGGGS is organized into five
regions and operates four international Guiding centers. It holds full member status in the European
Youth Forum (YFJ), which operates within the Council of Europe and European Union areas and
works closely with these bodies.
The mission of the WAGGGS is to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as
responsible citizens of the world.
WAGGGS provides a non-formal educational program that provides training in life skills, leadership
and decision making. It also offers projects and programs at an international level that enable Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts to be responsible world citizens through action and activity in the community.
WAGGGS is run by women for girls and young women. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are trained in
leadership and decision-making, and are encouraged to participate in the governance and leadership
of WAGGGS. Each individual unit is democratically run with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts actively
involved in leadership and in decision making.
Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting is open to all girls and young women without distinction of creed, race,
nationality, or any other circumstance. WAGGGS believes that the education of girls, and the
education of boys, includes education for equal partnership. Young men and young women are taught
to recognize their differences and their similarities, and to respect each other as individuals.
74
Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting is a voluntary organisation that relies on over 100,000 volunteers around
the world to implement programs for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, and to give girls and young women
support and leadership. There are over 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 145 countries. Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world can meet each other at international events at one of
the four World Centers.
There are many opportunities to attend international events run by the United Nations or other non-
governmental organizations on behalf of the Association. The WOSM is the non-governmental
organization (NGO), that represents the Scouting movement at the United Nations. The WOSM and
WAGGGS both have General Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social
Council.
11 b) Safety Measures While Using ATM Card and MOBILE PHONES
Safety Measures While Using ATM Card :
A) Memorise your PIN. Do not write it down anywhere,and certainly never on the card itself
B) Your card is for your own personal use. Do not share your PIN or card with anyone, not
even your friends or family
C) "Shoulder surfer" can peep at your PIN as you enter it. So stand close to the ATM machine
and use your body and hand to shield the keypad as you enter the PIN
D) Do not take help from strangers for using the ATM card or handling your cash
E) Press the 'Cancel' key before moving away from the ATM. Remember to take your card and
transaction slip with you
F) If you take transaction slip, shred it immediately after use
G) If your ATM card is lost or stolen, report it to your card-issuing bank immediately
H) When you deposit a cheque or card into your ATM, check the credit entry in your account
after a couple of days. If there is any discrepancy, report it to your bank
I) If your card gets stuck in the ATM, or if cash is not dispensed after you having keyed in a
transaction,call your bank immediately
j) If you have any complaint about your ATM/Debit/Credit card transaction at an ATM, you
must take it up with the bank that issued the card to you
Safety Measures While Using MOBILE PHONES :
1) Remember if you are being bullied it isn’t your fault and there is nothing so awful that you can’t speak to
someone about it. Talk to a trusted adult at home or at school.
2) Don’t reply to any nasty messages you receive.
3) Don’t reply to a text from someone you don’t know.
75
4) Keep the messages you have been sent so you can show them to a trusted adult and make a note of the
time and date of the messages or calls you receive.
5) Don’t answer calls from withheld numbers or numbers you don’t recognise, let it go to voicemail.
6) Block numbers from people who are sending you nasty messages.
7) If you are bullied repeatedly can change your number.
8) Don’t give your mobile number to someone you don’t know.
9) Don’t send pictures to someone you don’t know.
10) If the problem is serious you can report it to the police, cyber mentors, or childline.
11. FIRE
12 a) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH REGARD TO FIRE:
 Ensuring that power supplies aren't overloaded.

 Placing portable heaters away from curtains, bedding and tablecloths and not leaving them
unattended;
 Placing a screen in front of fireplaces and ensuring that chimneys are clean;
 Supervising children around heating sources and stoves; and
 Leaving keys in deadlocks so that you can easily escape if the need arises.
12 b. Demonstrate BUCKET CHAIN METHOD OF PUTTING OFF FIRE
12 c. HOW TO TACKE A DRY GRASS FIRE.
* Send someone to notify fire wardens by telephone, unless you are sure you can handle it.
* Use sand or dirt to smother flames Or use brooms, brush, burlap bags or some other heavy
material that can
be soaked in water, to beat out the flames. If there are pails of water handy, make the

12. SERVICE :
Know and understand the disease TUBERCULOSIS
Symptoms, Treatment and precautionary measures to be preventing the
disease
What is TB? How does it spread? How is it treated?
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often

affect the lungs. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable.
TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze
or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs
to become infected.
About one-third of the world's population has latent TB, which means people have been
infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with disease and cannot transmit the disease.
People infected with TB bacteria have a lifetime risk of falling ill with TB of 10%. However
persons with compromised immune systems, such as people living with HIV, malnutrition or
diabetes, or people who use tobacco, have a much higher risk of falling ill.
When a person develops active TB (disease), the symptoms (cough, fever, night sweats,
weight loss etc.) may be mild for many months. This can lead to delays in seeking care, and
results in transmission of the bacteria to others. People ill with TB can infect up to 10-15 other
people through close contact over the course of a year. Without proper treatment up to two thirds
of people ill with TB will die.
SYMPTOMS for TB :
 A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or  Pain in the chest  A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks
longer or longer
 Coughing up blood or sputum  Weakness or fatigue  Weight Loss
(mucus from deep inside the lungs)
No appetite Chills Fever & Sweating at night
Treatment for TB :
TB DRUG TREATMENT FOR NEW PATIENTS
Patients who have not had any TB treatment before, or they have had less than one month of
anti TB drugs, are considered to be new patients. New patients are presumed to have drug
susceptible TB (i.e. TB which is not resistant to any of the drugs) unless there is a high level of
isoniazid resistance in new patients in the area. The other people who may have drug resistant TB
are people who have developed active TB disease after they have been in contact with a patient who
is known to have drug resistant TB.
77
For new patients the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that they should have six
months of TB drug treatment. This should consist of a two month ―intensive‖ treatment phase
followed by a four month ―continuation‖ phase.
For the two month ―intensive‖ TB drug treatment phase they should receive:
 Isoniazid (H/Inh)
 with rifampicin (R/Rif)
 and pyrazinamide (Z/Pza)
 and ethambutol (E/Emb)
followed by
 Isoniazid (H/Inh)
 with rifampicin (R/Rif)
for the ―continuation‖ TB drug treatment phase.
It is essential to take several TB drugs together. If only one TB drug is taken on its own, then the
patient will very quickly become resistant to that drug.
TB drugs © WHO
It is recommended that patients take the TB drugs every day for the six months, although
taking them three times a week is possible in some circumstances. It is extremely important that all
the recommended TB drugs are taken for the entire time. The amount of any drug that a patient
needs to take depends on the patient‘s weight.
If only one or two of the TB drugs are taken, or the treatment is interrupted or stopped early,
then the treatment probably won‘t work. This is because the TB bacteria that a patient has, develops
resistance to the TB drugs. Not only is the patient then still ill, but to be cured they then have to take
drugs for the treatment of drug resistant TB.
Knowledge About DOTS :
DOTS, is an acronym for Directly Observed Treatment, Short course.
The DOTS strategy represents the most important public health breakthrough of the decade, in
terms of lives which will be saved. It is based largely on research done in India in the field of TB over
the past 35 years.
As it is the only strategy effective in controlling TB on a mass basis, nearly 100 countries are
following it. DOTS has five components: Government commitment (including both political will at all
levels, and establishing a centralized and prioritized system of TB monitoring, recording and training)
78
Case detection by sputum smear microscopy Standardized treatment regimen directly observed by a
healthcare worker or community health worker for at least the first two months
A regular drug supply A standardized recording and reporting system that allows assessment of
treatment results
. The operational feasibility of DOTS in the Indian context has been demonstrated, with 8 out of
10 patients treated in the programme being cured as compared to three out of 10 under the previous
regime.
. DOTS has also been shown to prevent the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis
(MDRTB) and to reverse the trend of MDRTB in communities in which it has emerged.
Also DOTS can cure TB even in HIV-positive patients. Entire country has been covered under
DOTS Strategy by March 2006.

6. CAMP CRAFT
a) Be able to pitch, strike and pack a SINGLE / DOUBLE fly tent
The method of PITCHING a Tent varies according to the type of tent and there are
different methods for pitching the same tent.
IMPROVISED TENT PITCHING 4 BEDSHEETS – RIDGE TENT WITH

WALLS
Take 4 bedsheets of equal size – preferably standard sized bedsheets ( of 7 ½ feet x 4 ½ feet -
240 cm x 145 cm in size). Tent will give a good look if all the bedsheets are of the same colour and
design printed.
Lay The Bedsheets on the Ground In such way that they form a rectangle.
Stitch the first two bedsheets together breathwise overlapping the edges by FRENCH SEAMING
method. Use thick cotton threads and stitch by close running stitches. Similarly stitch the other two
bedsheets also breadthwise. Place these two units by the side lengthwise and stitch their edges by
overlapping continuous stitches by FRENCH SEAMING method from one end to the other. This
prepares the roof for the tent.
Now fold the distal 30 cms of the roof back on the main part on both sides. This 30 cms foldings
is to form the side walls of the tent. Keep small pebbles of 2 to 2.5 cms inside the folds at both ends
81
and its middle bothsides and tie them with ropes of 100 cms to 150 cms with CLOVE HITCHES.
These ropes are for the 4 corner guylines and two side guylines.
Prepare ridge pole of (10 feet) three meters length (one foot longer than the length of the tent)
by lashing together 2 or 3 staffs by parallel ( sheer II ) lashings.
Lash two uprights of (6 ½ feet) two meters length to the ends of ridge pole at its two ends by
SQUARE LASHINGS leaving 15 cms free outside so that the vertical becomes 170 cms and ridge
between the uprights 270 cms.
PEGS ; on the level ground where the tent is to be pitched draw a straight line AB equal to
the length of the tent ( RIDGE OF THE TENT) – 270 cms in the direction of the wind . Extend this line
by another 270 cms from both its ends ( i.e equal to the length of the tent or ridge of the tent ) to
C and D. Drive in two pegs at C and D at the of the lines to be used as pegs for the two main
guylines (HEADINE OR WEATHER LINE ) .
AB = AC = BD = length of the tent = length of ridge. The distance between the butt of the
vertical and peg for the headline may be equal to the length of the tent ( or the ridge of the tent) or of
a minimum equal to the height of the vertical pole.
Place the ridge pole ( of the assembly of poles) on the A, B line. Turn the tent sheet upside
down and spread it on the ground in such a way that the ridge of the tent on the ridge pole. Now
square the tent and drive in pegs close to the border ( EAVE) of the tent. ( near the four corners and
the side guylines) using a MALLET. WOODEN PEGS should be about 45 to 60 cms long and driven
into the ground at 45 to 60 cms long and driven into the ground at 45 degree to 60 degree from the
ground and leaning away from the tent, making an angle of 90 degree with the GUYLINE. Never drive
in pegs when the rope is tied to it. Tie the rope to the peg just 3 to 5 cms above the ground level
and never to the top.
Tie ropes for the headlines to the vertical poles above the ridge pole by CLOVE HITCH OR
ROLLING HITCH. Lift the Poles, hold the tent upright and loop the headlines to their pegs slackly by
ROUND TURN and TWO HALF HITCHES. Similarly loop the corner guys and side guys to their pegs by
ROUND TURN and TWO HALF HITCHES . Corner guys can first be pulled and tied to pega before
headlines.
Adjust all the guylines so that the tent stands trim without wrinkles or sagging.
Side Guylines should be in line with the seam of the tent and follow the same slope of the roof.
All the corner guys also should follow the line of the seams. This procedure protects the tent from
tearing off at the corners. Pulling the corner guys in forward and backward direction at an angle may
tear the tent at the central seams also.
When front clearance is required a pair of main lines be used and tied to the vertical pole top
(SPIKE) on one side and looped to the pegs driven in line with the pegs for corner and side guys or
headlines cross pegged (STORM SET).
SINGLE FLY TENT (RIDGE TENT)

6 c) Make a Patrol Pioneering Project

TRESTLE MAKING
A trestle is the basic component for building a bridge in a pioneering project. It is

used to support the walkways.
The most basic form of a trestle is an H-frame. It consists of two legs, two ledgers,
and two cross braces (see figure 125). When building a bridge, the top ledger is also called a
transom. This is the part that supports the walkways.
83
Materials needed : ( for PRACTICE)

1) Scout Staves ( 6‖ feet Length) = 6
2) Lashing Rope = 2m or 3m Length = 9
PROCEDURE
1. Lay out two poles parallel to one another as the trestle legs.
2. Place a pole over the legs at the top and bottom to serve as the ledgers, and then lash them to the
legs with four tight Square Lashings using the lashing ropes.
3. Turn the legs and ledgers over and place one pole diagonally over two of the legs as one of the X-
braces.
4. Where it intersects, join this pole to the legs with two tight square lashings.
5. Place the last pole diagonally OVER one leg and UNDER the other leg, as the other X-brace.
6. Where it intersects, join this pole to the legs with two tight square lashings.
7. Stand the structure up. There should be a gap between the the two X-braces where they cross in
the middle.
8. Using the lashing rope, spring the X-braces together with a tight diagonal lashing.
The completed trestle should be sturdy enough to be lifted and shaken without losing its
shape or becoming loose. After building their trestles,
Square lashing =8 Clove Hitch = 17
Diagonal Lashing = 1 Timber Hitch = 1

Slope of the Legs should be 1 in 6
Ledger = 1/3 x leg + Transom Height
PATROL PIONEERING PROJECTS
Pioneering is the life blood of scouting. It is building structures of spars and sticks for
practical use. It tests various skills like knotting, lashings, team work, estimation, usefulness and
other scout-crafts. Always be prepared to be helpful to others by your skill of pioneering.
Observation, thinking, willingness to serve, management, obedience etc. are some of the essential
virtues necessary for understanding such projects. Start with small projects by Patrols:
Plan out the projects in a patrol meeting:
1. What do we need? 2. Where do we get? 3.How much does it cost?
4 Where is it to be done? 5. How long have we to complete? 6. Who will do what and in
what order? 7. How to do the whole of it in order?
84
One has to lead; he should be an experienced fellow. Create interest in the subject. Trust his
skill. Have confidence.
Pioneering, training should be continuous and progressive right from the Pratham Sopan.
Inter –patrol competitions should be often arranged. Not the time but the correctness and the
usefulness of the project are more essential. Use knots, lashings, measurements, gears etc.
correctly.
Spars, Bamboos, Staffs, Ropes, cords, Twines, Mallet, Pegs – long & short, Pulleys, Axe, Knife,
saw, Hammer, crowbar, chopper etc.
While planning a project first draw it in right Proportion. Find out the requirements (quantity,
measurement, cost etc.) Get them. Decide who will do what part and in what order. Then execute
your plan under somebody‘s leadership. On completion of your test requirement undo everything in
order. Don‘t cut ropes or twines or bamboos or spars. Slowly untie knots and lashings. Put all
things in order neat and clean. Fill in holes if any done on the ground. Clean the place.
