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

Although you may find the American Red Cross "lacking" compare the Buck
Tilton's WFR course, anybody can teach a WFR. ANYBODY and most are taught
by ANYBODIES. There is no standard curriculum. There is not teaching
background requirements. Most advertise by what they teach, which in many
cases is illegal.
 
Remember it is a criminal act, not covered by the good Samaritan law to
carry epinephrine that is prescribed in your name and give it to a third
party. Yet most WFR courses teach you to do that.
 
What you learned from a WFR course in one state can be night and day what is
taught in another. Besides no one from a government point of view save one
Park recognizes WFR. Where everyone recognizes National Ski Patrol, American
Red Cross and the BSA first aid programs.

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
