(CSCC) First Aid: When Help Is Delayed
Learn what to do when an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response is 30 minutes or more away. Learn to identify delayed-help environments, to prepare for emergencies, and to protect yourself and a victim from the weather. Participants will discuss some of the difficult decisions that must be made when caring for a victim in a delayed-help situation.

HSWFA101: (CSCC) Wilderness and Remote First Aid
Wilderness and Remote First Aid teaches participants how to prevent, assess and treat medical and traumatic emergencies in remote environments or urban disasters where definitive care of a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. The course follows the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines as well as requirements of other organizations such as Girl Scouts of the USA and the American Camp Association. It offers enhanced content and topics to meet OSHA’s Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Training Programs. It can be adapted to meet the needs of training for youth-oriented organizations, adult participants in outdoor recreational activities or remote locations, and employees working in wilderness and remote settings.
