First Aid Kit SWAPS Instructions

Materials: film canister, thread/string ~4" long, safety pin, white sticker label, band-aids, alcohol prep pads (or other small first aid items)

Also needed: needle, red marker or crayon, glue gun (optional)

1. Thread string through the loop of the safety pin, tie it in the middle of the string.
2. Attach the safety pin to the lid of the film canister by sewing the string into the lid.
   An adult partner may assist/do this step as needed. It may help to pre-puncture the lid with a larger needle and/or do one thread at a time.
3. Knot string inside the lid of the film canister and make sure it is secured in place. You may use hot glue to glue the knot to the inside (adult assistance as needed).
4. Draw a red cross on the white label sticker
5. Attach the sticker to your film canister
6. Fold and roll medical wipes and band-aids and insert them inside your film canister.

This SWAPS ties in nicely with many Adventures related to Scouting Essentials as one of the essential items is a First Aid Kit.
