This year we are also thrilled to be able to offer a very limited number of openings for scouts to earn their official Red Cross CPR certification!  These spots will fill up quickly so please register early if you would like to be one of the lucky few accepted into this course.  Certification is a two-step process which includes an at home online class that MUST be done prior to November 28 and our in class offering.  Please be aware that there is also an additional fee of $50 for scouts that choose to take the CPR certification course.  More information can be found in the Leader/Parent Guide.
