Wilderness First Aid to be offered at Mt Norris Scout Reservation

4/2/2019

4 Comments

 
Norris Scout Reservation will host a 2-day Wilderness First Aid Training course this summer.  The training will be offered each of the 5 weeks of camp on a first come-first served basis.   A minimum of 12 participants are needed to conduct any one of the five courses being offered. 

The Boy Scout of America defines the need for Wilderness First Aid as being an hour or more away from advanced care.  WFA courses are intended for anyone planning a remote high adventure, from lay responders to medical professionals. 
 
 All four of the BSA high-adventure bases (HAB) require at least one person per trek (two per trek at Philmont Scout Ranch) to be current in WFA through one of the BSA’s approved providers. Of course, having more participants trained in WFA skills is highly recommended for any high adventure or backcountry experience.

For more information and to register for one of the courses click here.

The notification email was forwarded to me by my Scout Master. It references a reduced cost, but never stated the actual cost? Any info would be helpful in helping me decide to register. Thanks.
