Wilderness and Remote

We have limited capacity and we expect many leaders to need certification to attend the 2026 National Jamboree and other events. As such, everybody will be placed on a waitlist, and we will admit according to need. Please use the "Comments" field in your registration to indicate which event(s) you will need Wilderness First Aid certification for.

Course Length: 16 hours - attendance and participation for the full schedule is required to receive certification.  This class meets the requirements established by Scouting America for participating in high adventure.
