[philmont] 2007 Wilderness First Aid Requirement - The Official Word

Howdy folks,

Now that it’s official that we don’t need WFA for ’07, does anyone have a
sense of whether Philmont will accept WFA certification for ’07, or will
they insist on a “standard” first aid certification (i.e., refuse to
recognize the WFA cert).

I have taken both. WFA from NOLS was an intense two-day course that really
helped prepare me for a wide range of emergencies. (I did need to travel
200 miles to the closest location that offered it, so I understand why
Philmont is not requiring it yet.)

On the other hand, the standard first aid course from the local Red Cross is
a little over ½ day and falls substantially short of a good BSA first-class
rank first aid course. I’m just wondering whether I must take the red cross
course again.

Thanks for your insights,

Steve Mountainspring
