Wilderness First Aid

Posted by Prescott on April 7, 2009

Scouters and senior Scouts,

On September 19 and 20th we have arranged to have the Wilderness First Aid course taught specially for Troop leaders and senior Scouts.  This is a serious 16 hour training that teaches what to do in emergency situations when professional first responders aren’t available.  As a High Adventure Troop, I strongly urge each of our leaders to put this training on their calendars.  We should have several adults and older Scouts trained.

The cost is cheap at only $75 per person.  We are considering providing a subsidy for leaders who are active in campouts.  Though not every adult has to have it, having some leaders trained is required for Philmont in 2010.
