**Drill #1 Perform CPR as a Team**
Using CPR dummies your team will work together to administer CPR and call for a larger extraction team.

See the Medics & Radios Basic Course for more information on team roles and positions.

**Medics & Radios Basic Concept**
Medics & Radios is a Post Apocalyptic Live Action Role Play game (LARP) that teaches real world outdoor skills using scenario training.

The basic M&R scenario is that you are on the other side of 'the apocalypse' and have found a place to get some (very) basic outdoor skills training.

The **[Medics & Radios Basic Course](https://medicsandradios.com/course/medics-radios/)** meets the BSA merit badge qualifications for *First Aid, Radio* and *Rifle Shooting.*

Our monthly drills will draw from *Hiking, Orienteering, Geocaching, Backpacking, Camping, Emergency Preparedness, Wilderness Survival* and *Search & Rescue.*

FEMA IS 100, 200, 700 and 800 are free online certifications required by every emergency services and law enforcement agency in the US and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) has free online Wildland Firefighter courses, which are the basic academic training for Wildland Firefighters.

The **Medics & Radios Basic Course** is 3 merit badge *equivalencies* plus enough FEMA and NWCG training to *roleplay* functioning as a wildland firefighter.

**Boy Scout Merit Badge *Standards***
Medics & Radios is not involved with Scouting and all our courses and events are for adults only (18+), but the courses are developed to merit badge standards because it provides a consistent goal that any adult should be able to reach.

The first aid techniques in the First Aid merit badge are *all the first aid there is*, for instance. Anything more complex than Boy Scout first aid is officially called pre-hospital care.

Using merit badge *standards* gives everyone involved a consistent goal.
