… AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE!
Did you know that Mayflower Council offers training and certification in CPR/AED, Professional Rescuer CPR/AED, First Aid, and Wilderness and Remote First Aid (WRFA)? Our team of volunteer instructors offers this training at a discounted rate for Scouts and Scouters. We only charge what it takes to recoup the cost of Red Cross certification and to maintain our teaching supplies.
Below is a partial schedule of our offerings through June 2019.
Please, before you consider signing up for any of these courses, take note of the following:
- We limit registration in these courses to 20 participants so that each participant gets enough instructor attention.
- CPR/AED (current within two years) is a prerequisite for WRFA.
- “First Aid” is a basic first Aid course. It is not a prerequisite for WRFA. If you want to take WRFA, you don’t also need to take “basic” First Aid as a prerequisite
- WRFA is required by the BSA for two adults accompanying youth BSA members to any BSA “high-adventure” venues, or any real (away from a road) wilderness location.
- From October through May we will offer WRFA five times vs. the three times we have offered the course previously. Based on demand in previous years, we offer this training once in the fall and four times in winter/spring. Please plan ahead and register early. If you realize at the last minute that you need this training, it may be too late to get into our course.
- Minimum age for certification in CPR/AED and/or First Aid is 11. Minimum age for WRFA is 14. Certification in these courses is for two years.
- The per-person fee for CPR/AED or First Aid certification is $35 for BSA-registered individuals, $60 for non-BSA registered individuals. The per-person fee for WRFA certification is $90 regardless of BSA affiliation.
- Most of the courses below will be at Nobscot Reservation in Sudbury. Courses in other parts of the council will be added over the next few months.
