Wilderness First Aid -- January 9 & 10, 2016

Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one-and maybe even save a life.  The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast or trip leader who wants a basic level of first aid training for short trips with family, friends, and outdoor groups.  

Girls who participated in the Winchester 2014 class found that WFA certification helped their applications to be employed by both Girl Scout and other summer camps.  Both Seniors and Ambassadors who participate will receive the appropriate First Aid Badge as well as certification.

WFA is now the Girl Scout safety requirement for troops traveling more than 30 minutes away from emergency medical care (e.g. hiking & backing trips, canoe overnights).

This two day class will be taught January 9th and 10th (Saturday and Sunday) at Rice Moody (Reading) and is open to girls ages 14+ and all registered Girl Scout adult volunteers.  The course will be $120 for both girls and adults ($145 non-registered).  An option to become CPR certified will be offered for an additional $35.  Course cost includes breakfast, lunch and dinner both Saturday and Sunday as well as the option to stay overnight at Rice Moody.
