Our council offers a range of First Aid training courses to help Scouts, leaders, and community members build vital life-saving skills throughout the year. Explore course options and find the right training for you below.

• Basic First Aid/CPR/AED
  • Would you know what to do in a cardiac, breathing, or first aid emergency? Our Basic First Aid/CPR/AED courses emphasize hands-on learning to equip you with skills that could save a life. This training is ideal for Scouts working on the First Aid merit badge or Scouters preparing for high-adventure treks. After registering, participants will receive a link for the online portion of the course, which must be completed before attending. Please bring your completion certificate to class.
• Wilderness First Aid (WFA)
  • This 16-hour course covers first aid assessment and treatment in remote environments where advanced medical care is not immediately accessible. Participants learn to assess, treat, and manage emergencies within their training scope. Prerequisites include current certification in an adult CPR/AED course, with certification cards to be presented in class. Open to participants 14 years or older or registered Venturers. This two-day course requires attendance on both days.
• CPRO: Professional Rescuers First Aid CPR/AED
  • Designed for professional-level rescuers, this course teaches response techniques for breathing and cardiac emergencies across all age groups until advanced medical personnel arrive. Required for high-adventure guides, the course includes an online component, which must be completed in advance. Participants should bring the completion certificate to class, where a final test will be administered.
• CPR Instructor Course
  • This instructor-level course follows OSHA Guidelines for First Aid Programs, using video demonstrations, interactive lectures, and hands-on training to teach life-saving skills. Participants must have current certification in adult CPR/AED. After completing the online portion, which is emailed before class, please bring your completion certificate.
