Jack's Dad sustained a serious injury to his hand whilst working in the garden. Whilst there was another adult in the garden next door, who was able to talk to Jack's Dad, Jack realised the situation was serious and subsequently phoned for an ambulance. He had completed his Beaver Scout 999 Badge just six months before and had been taught to stay calm and talk clearly in the event of needing to call 999.
