This training is NOT a Scouting America Training. It is only required for Troops and Crews if they are attending one of our 4 National High Adventure Bases (Philmont, Sea Base, Northern Tier, or The Summit) or if you will be conducting a Scouting activity 60 minutes away from definitive medical care.
Occasionally our Council will offer a Wilderness First Aid course through a partnership with another organization. Please check back for details on when/if one is being held. For those units who need adult leaders trained in Wilderness First Aid, the following providers offer courses annually in our region.
Wilderness First Responder is an intensive, in-depth training course that goes beyond the Wilderness First Aid certification. The course is an 80-hour course focusing on delivering medical care in remote areas where distance and reliable communication can delay medical care.
