About EDSFAT

Eastbourne District Scout (Fellowship) First Aid Team is more commonly known as "EDSFAT" and is a Fellowship in its own right and operates under the administrative guidance of Eastbourne District. EDSFAT is a fellowship whose role and aim is to provide "First-Aid and Medical support to Scouting events" in East and West Sussex and as well as events throughout the UK.

EDSFAT also supports Scouting by:

Helping others improve the safety of young people whilst in their charge.
Training others in basic First Aid by running First Aid Courses.
Promoting the use of High Visibility Garments and First Aid Equipment.

EDSFAT is made up of adult members of the Scout & Guide Associations, from throughout the UK, who are either Leaders or members of the Scout Fellowship. We operate as a Fellowship with a management Committee who are elected every year. Members have to regularly attend training sessions, these keep the members up to date with the specialist equipment and help them to build on previously gained skills.

To help extend the support we offer to Scouting, Explorer Scouts from the age of 14 may attend our training sessions and selected events. Under 18's are required to be a member of an Explorer Scout Unit and partake in events/training with the Fellowship as activities.

The History of EDSFAT

Long long ago............

The Remit and Constitution

As a Scout Fellowship EDSFAT is required to have a Remit and Constitution. At least once a year they are reviewed and possibly ammended to ensure that the work that EDSFAT undertakes is up to date and appropiate. The documents can be downloaded using the links below.

The Management Committee

EDSFAT is managed by a management committee that are elected by the EDSFAT fellowship members each year. This committee ensures that the day to day running of the fellowship is smooth, and that EDSFAT is able to improve and progress. The committee meets regularly and when necessary appoints sub committees to look after various aspects, such as equipment maintenance.
