Tenderfoot (Part Two)

On to number ten. You have to record yourself in several events, which take a lot of room when you're typing, so you can read about that one in my previous article. Moving along, we find number 11: Identify local poisonous plants; tell how to treat for exposure to them. Well, the most common are poison ivy, sumac, and oak. They usually have white berries, and on the ivy, there are three leaves on each tiny branch. Sumac and oak are harder to describe without actually seeing them, but to treat all three, wash your clothes and body as soon as possible.

Only a few requirements left! Now for number twelve: Demonstrate the Heimlich maneuver and tell when it is used. For this, you have to be very careful. Even though I'm going to explain, let some that knows how to do it show you first. Alright, first you stand behind the person and put your arms around his waist. Clasp your hands together, and place them in the pit of their stomach, just below the rib cage. Then, quickly pull your hands into his stomach, and release. That should blow air out of his body, forcing whatever he was choking on out too!

Now twelve B. It too has a long list of requirements, so check out my last article again. Finally! All you need is a scoutmaster conference and a board of review! That wraps it up for this time, so I'll catch you later. Happy trails!
