Scouting America – Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Hybrid Course

The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Hybrid Course is designed to prepare Scouts, leaders, and outdoor adventurers to respond confidently to medical emergencies in remote environments where help may be delayed.

This nationally recognized course follows Scouting America high-adventure guidelines and is ideal for:

High Adventure participants (Philmont, Northern Tier, Sea Base, Summit)

• Scout leaders and adult advisors
• Camp staff
• Outdoor enthusiasts
• Anyone spending extended time in the backcountry

What You’ll Learn:

Patient assessment in remote settings

• Stabilizing injuries and illnesses
• Managing fractures, sprains, and dislocations
• Treating environmental emergencies (heat, cold, lightning)
• Wound care and bleeding control
• Evacuation decision-making
• Leadership during backcountry emergencies

This hybrid format combines online learning with hands-on, in-person practical skills training to ensure participants are prepared for real-world situations.

Participants may also enroll in the CPR/AED course, which complements WFA training and meets Scouting America and high-adventure program requirements.

Be prepared. Be confident. Be ready when it matters most.
