2022 Safety Weekend

April 1-3, 2022

Help keep our scouts safe. Get training in the following areas:

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is the assessment of and treatment given to an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care by a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. Participants will learn how to assess, treat, and (when possible) contain emergencies within the scope of their training.  Youth and adult Scout leaders age 14 and over are invited to participate and earn their certification. This course is 16-hours plus scenario time, and requires participation in full to qualify as Wilderness First Aid trained. Class size limited to 24 participants.

Prerequisites: Current adult CPR and AED certification. If certification is needed, an approved online course can be taken prior to the training. ECSI, Emergency Care and Safety Institute, gives a discount to BSA members. Go to ecsinstitute.org>Type CPR and AED Interactive into Search box at top right of page and click on search icon>Click on Add to Cart>Click on box to agree to skills testing>Enter promotion code BSAQ12022.

Required skills testing will be done on site. If CPR/AED certification is current, bring a copy of your certificate from any one of the organizations recognized by the American Camp Association.

*It is very important to complete all these steps, and with ECSI only to receive an electronic confirmation of online CPR/AED course completion.
