Lambda Kappa Sigma connected with the Girl Scouts for their day of service, Hygeia Day, which celebrates the advancement of the pharmacy profession with a special focus on encouraging girls and women to explore the medical field.
15 Wilkes University Volunteers led six stations for 88 Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts during a First Aid community event organized by Lambda Kappa Sigma (LKS).
88 Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts from 14 different troops got the 411 on 911 situations from Wilkes University’s best and brightest on Sunday, March 22nd during a First Aid community event organized by Lambda Kappa Sigma (LKS). Knowledge was gained and badges were earned as the Girl Scouts worked their way through six stations learning directly from up and coming doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and first responders. Girl Scouts did more
! h c u O
than “play doctor” as the Wilkes University students showed them how to use an EpiPen, bandage ankles and wrists, and administer immediate First Aid. “First Aid is something you learn year to year. You can form a baseline of knowledge that will continue to grow allowing you to take care of so much more,” said LKS’ Amanda Gerberich who helped coordinate the event. “If something happens and girls are out with their friends or families, they can take care of
it and make sure that nothing else happens,” she said. “Hopefully, in just a few short years, most of our Scouts will be attending college,” said Girl Scout volunteer Kathy Lockman. “One day, they might perhaps put on an educational, yet fun event for the Girl Scouts, or other youth organizations,” she said. In the meantime, LKS and our Girl Scout troops are excited to learn from each other for years to come.
