Latimer Reservation is proud to offer to Scouts (age 14) and adults the opportunity to complete the Wilderness First Aid Training.  Scouting America National High Adventure programs require at least one adult ( 3 for Phimont) to be WFA certified. Join us at Latimer Reservation for a comprehensive, blended-learning course (online + on-ground skills check) led by certified instructors Janet Forde, Bob Forde, and Katie Sherrouse.
