Atherstone Cub Scout saves grandfather’s life
A nine old Cub Scout used the fist aid skills he learned in Scouting to save his grandfather’s life. Lewis’s grandfather, Graham, who suffers from varicose veins and a mild form of haemophilia, knocked his leg whilst his grandson was visiting and began to bleed severely from one of his veins. He called out for help and quick thinking Lewis ran to the bathroom to fetch a bundle of toilet roll and used it to apply pressure to the injury and slow the bleeding. Reassuring his granddad he said ‘Don’t panic, I have learned about this at Cubs’. Flexible Scouting | Occasional Helpers | DofE update | County Activity Day
