WRFA participants must be at least 14 years of age by the last day of the course. There are no waivers of the above requirements. Training availability:We usually teach at churches that sponsor scout units. We understand that having Wilderness First Aid patients around the church on Sunday mornings is a significant distraction and that most rooms are in use. Also, A Scout is Reverent. Therefore, we normally offer WRFA training on two consecutive Saturdays. If another facility is available, we have done the WRFA on a Saturday and Sunday. Please contact us for further details.Our current schedule of offerings is here In order for future courses to go, we need a minimum of 8 students for each class. If we have more than 10 students, we will attempt to get a second instructor. We currently have 4 ARC instructors, 3 of whom are also WRFA instructors. CPR/AED will be based on demand. We will do our best to manage a wait list as classes also depend on the availability of our instructors. Most BSA 2015 High Adventure Camp requirements are that there must be TWO persons, either adult or youth, currently certified in Adult CPR/AED and Wilderness First Aid on each crew. It is your responsibility to verify requirements with the appropriate camp. WRFA certificates are valid for two years from the last day of the coure. After 2 years, it will be necessary to re-take the WRFA course as there is no review or challenge option in the WRFA program.
