Craig:

We have three instructors locally and are offering a course in central missouri (Great Rivers Council) for about $60 per person. This will include certification in WFA and CPR for the professional rescuer which includes AED. If you can't get one together in your area, let me know. We can probably help.

that won't be re-packaged as anything less than a Seatrain Cargo
Container.....

The reason it was moved from '07 to '08 was to give
time to Councils to come up with a solution for the fact that most Councils east
of the Rockies have had little need for Wilderness 1st Aid. That doesn't mean I
disapprove of the idea, quite the contrary. Having an up-close and personal
experience with the Med Staff at Philmont, made me appreciate the fact that
every member of my '06 Crew had basic FA/CPR training before we left. Had our
situation been more serious, more intense knowledge may have been required.
Luckily, it wasn't serious, but it could have been.

Unfortunately, I doubt that much has changed in the
last year. In St Louis, a little talk, but hardly any

action. The local Red Cross chapter still doesn't a
WFA course scheduled in the foreseeable future. Neither does GSLAC. Granted, we
still have another year to figure it out, but as a former ASM once told me,
"There's no minute like the LAST minute!!" So, I expect we'll still be talking
about this next year at this time.
