Those not affiliated with the NCAC Boy Scouts of America should contact 1-800-RED-CROSS or visit http://www.redcross.org/take-a-class . These courses are American Red Cross courses. You will receive, as appropriate, ARC certifications that meet BSA requirements. These are not BSA courses. If you have read or heard that the course cost is $5, that is no longer true. Effective in April 2016 the ARC per person fee is based on a percentage of the ARC prices of fees charged to all ARC Authorized Providers. These costs vary by course. There are other costs associated with the courses, such as manikins, AED trainers, printed materials, gloves, breathing barriers, etc. If you have a question - please enter your name and a phone number or e-mail address below, click on submit and we will do our best to contact you.
