High Adventure Scouts and Scouters;

 

Online registration is now open for the very popular High Adventure Training (HAT) Team's Wilderness First Aid Course!  Session I is scheduled for FEB 21 - 22, 2015 at Camp Pollack in Sacramento.  Registration is also open for Session II of this same class scheduled for APR 11 - 12, 2015 at the Scout House in Live Oak.

 

This is definitely not your local Red Cross first Aid course! The goal of this course is to help the participants deal with medical emergencies in a wilderness setting where qualified medical assistance is more than a hour away and you are the only available medical care for awhile. Participants will benefit more if they have completed a basic first aid course.

 

"At the heart of wilderness medicine is improvisation", says Dr. Eric Weiss in his book "Wilderness and Travel Medicine". By definition, in all wilderness first aid emergencies you are limited to the gear you brought with you and what you can use in your environment. Participants will learn to straighten angulated fractures, clear a spine, reduce a dislocated shoulder and much more using commonly available materials and easily learned techniques. 

 

This is a great 16 hour class for those who are looking to experience practical wilderness first aid skills in an outdoor setting. In addition to a half-day of outdoor scenario practice of first aid and emergency leadership skills, this class focuses on practicing skills in and out of the classroom.

 

A Wilderness First Aid certification is available upon successful completion of this course, including a written closed book exam. There are pre-class reading assignments that are strongly recommended. Materials will be mailed to each participant prior to class.

 

The program includes indoor and outdoor sessions at Camp Pollock on February 21st & 22nd, 2015(daily) and April 11th & 12th, 2015 (daily) at the Scout House in Live Oak.

 

Registration is available only through the Council's online registration system at http://www.gec-bsa.org/webpay/event/new. The cost of the course includes all instructional materials and the required Philmont certifications. The course is open to all registered Scouters and Scouts over 15 years old (when accompanied by a registered adult >21 years old).  Participants must submit a current BSA Medical Form with all sections A & B completed.

 

Registration for this popular course is limited to 24 participants per Session so be sure to register early!  Please, no late or at the door registrations. Note that the course fee must be paid by the registration deadline to confirm your registration.

 

Regards,
