Safety Moment: Hypothermia Commissioner Minute- Why Safety Matters?
A Scout (Leader) is Prepared… Whether spending time in extremely cold
temperatures in winter or cool, damp conditions during the summer, our bodies can
be affected by hypothermia. If the conditions are right, you and your Scouts could
find yourselves in a situation where hypothermia is a genuine risk. In some colder
climates, conditions can even lead to frostbite.
If you learn of the warning signs and take precautions ahead of time, you can
reduce the risk of hypothermia and keep yourself and your Scouts safe and enjoying
outdoor experiences throughout the year. In this BSA Safety Moment we’ll learn 1)
what hypothermia is, 2) its risk factors, and 3) the care and treatment of the
condition.
