       STEPHEN BENNETT'S EAGLE PROJECT 
    November 5, 2006  | 
  
		At 10:30 in the morning of November 5th 2006, a group of young men and adults were unpacking their cars 
		on the edge of a cul-de-sac off Estates Drive in Oakland. They were the volunteers of Troop 202, preparing 
		for Stephen Bennett's Eagle Project. They had all volunteered the day before and one of the weeknights 
		the previous week to train in first aid by a San Francisco paramedic. The scouts were about to undertake 
		the education of forty-three CORE (Citizens of Oakland Respond to Emergencies) members in methods of 
		applying first aid in a disaster setting. The trainees arrived at noon for instruction at five different 
		stations manned by scouts. The training stations included shock and burns, broken bones, spinal injuries, 
		lacerations, and carries. At each station two or three older scouts taught with two or three younger scouts 
		acting as aids and victims. Each station was supervised by an adult. The day progressed without a hitch 
		and the trainees had learned a lot after completing the five stations. Thanks to the effort of the scouts 
		and their leaders, there are forty-three adults who know how to react in emergency 
		situations.    |
