I think we had an Explorer patch or two but sent them all to Puerto Rico
when we switched to the new system.  Sorry.

As for the bandage, I seem to remember the training kits we got from the Red
Cross had right-triangle gauze bandages that were at least 3' on the short
sides.  Besides that triangle bandage there was an elastic ace bandage, a
gauze compress, the strips you mentioned, and a couple of pieces of
corrugated cardboard fan-folded down to about 3" x 18" x 1" thick to be used
for splints.  The whole works was stuffed in to individual zip-lock bags a
bit bigger than a sandwich bag.

I'm going to get re-certified shortly and we'll be using the Heart
Association program instead of the Red Cross.  They cover the same material
in less time because the Red Cross has one course for First Aid and another
for CPR. The two courses contain a significant amount of the same material
and they teach it twice.  The Heart Association teaches it all as one
integrated course and saves several hours.  Also, the Red Cross makes
everyone purchase their books and the Heart Association loans them out and
purchasing a new one is optional.  --at least that's the way it works here.

Subject: [RR] Explorer Rating

One of our 16 year old boys is finishing up his GMA requirements and is
looking for a Explorer Patch for Trailblaziers.  He was unable to get one
a while back and mentioned to me if I knew of anyone.  

So does anyone have a Trailblaizers Explorer Patch?

p.s. A bit of  triva.  How big is a Triangle Bandage?  I went to Super
Center and they don't carry them.  I did find the size on line.  Anyone
know off hand how big it is?  I got some musilin and made several and
some 3" bandages 50 " long as well.
