Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is the assessment of and treatment given to an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care of a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available.

Time is the major element distinguishing Wilderness First Aid from Standard First Aid.  When calling 911 is not an immediate option, or when help is hours or even days away, the task of treating the ill or injured can challenge your "standard" first aid skills.  Heat, cold, rain, wind, darkness, and distance over land or water may separate you from definitive care and evacuation may also need to be improvised from what is available. Communication with the "outside world" may be limited or unavailable.  All of these things may very well be part of the WFA world.

The course is for those who plan trips to remote areas far from "normal" EMS Services, providing hands-on skills practice for the remote site.

Wilderness First Aid is required at each B.S.A high-adventure location. Check the specific locations for specific requirements and exceptions.
