Basic First Aid & CPR

Posted by Prescott on April 7, 2009

Troop 16 Adults and Scouts,

In order to fulfill BSA guidelines, we MUST have CPR/First Aid certified adults on every campout.  If you are already certified, please make a copy of your card and give it to our training coordinator, Mrs. Farrar, at a troop meeting or email it to her at farrarfamily4@comcast.net.   If you are not certified, please consider taking one of the following classes.  The South Metro Fire Protection District offers 2 classes here in Parker for $54.  The 1st class is done entirely in the classroom at the headquarters building, 10235 Parkglenn Way.  This is the class I would suggest if you have never been certified before or if you are taking the class with your son (12 or older suggested).  It is from 9am-4pm on either 4/4, 5/9 or 6/6.  

The other option is best for those of you who have been certified in the past.  You do the coursework online and then do the 3 hour CPR portion in the classroom.  This option is offered on 4/29, 5/27 or 6/24 at the same location.  The link to sign up and pay for either of these classes is: http://foundation.parkerfire.org/index.cfm?secid=Classes&sectid=53&gid=2&cgnam=CPR/First%20Aid  

Please consider taking one of these classes as soon as possible.  This is one training every adult and scout should have!
