Wilderness First Aid at Camp Mabry, April 4-5

Wilderness First Aid Basics - How to handle an emergency in the outdoors, this is a MUST for all leaders attending Philmont, Sea Base or Northern Tier. Each High Adventure Venue requires all adults to be trained in Wilderness First Aid. The course is open to Scouts also.

The next course is offered April 4-5, 2009 AT CAMP MABRY – TEXAS ARMY NATIONAL GUARD - AUSTIN. It can't get any easier than that.

Wilderness First Aid Basics is an American Red Cross (ARC) course for people in backcountry and similar situations where professional emergency care is over 30 minutes away. The course combines classroom lecture, skills practice, and realistic scenarios to teach assessment, basic and advanced first aid techniques, extended care, transports and evacuations. As a pre-requisite, participants should have current First Aid and CPR skills equivalent to what is taught in the ARC Standard First Aid and CPR course. A minimum age of 15 is recommended due to the serious nature of the course and scenarios, however, mature youth are strongly encouraged to attend..
