Outside Training-

WILDERNESS FIRST AID

For a group going on a high-adventure trip, at least one adult must attend an approved wilderness First Aid Course. I will be offering the Emergency Care and Safety Institute Wilderness First Aid Course, which meets that requirement.

In response to requests from unit leaders, the course will be offered on 2 consecutive Saturdays. This is an 16 hour course, requiring 2 days to complete.

A prerequisite to the course is that each attendee complete a basic CPR course. I will offer the American Heart Association Heartsaver course on the Friday evening prior to the first First Aid session. This course meets that requirement

Dates for the First Aid courses are 20 and 27 October, 2012 with Heartsaver course on 19 October. Another course is scheduled for 17 and 24 November 2012, with Heartsaver course on 16 November.

All courses will be held at the LDS Church at 3809 Curt DR, Arlington, TX, 76016.

Times for the courses are:

                        CPR                7 PM – 10 PM

                        First Aid          9 AM – 5 PM

Cost for the courses are:

                        CPR                $25.00

                        First Aid          $50.00

Additional courses for 2013 will be scheduled based on input during these first 2 courses.

NOTE – Heartsaver CPR also satisfies the requirement for Cub Scout camps. If you just need the CPR, think about just attending a Friday evening session.
