SSSAR had our second event running first aid for @WhyRacingEvents today at The Reflection Run in Washougal, WA. Members, Sarah and Alex were onsite, ready to provide assistance if needed.
Through stories and Q&A, the eager Cubs engaged on many aspects of being prepared, such as: letting others know your plan, the buddy system, what you should know and carry with you when going into the woods and what to do when lost.
