Jim,
You have been consistent in your position that administering epi pens to someone other than the person to whom it is prescribed is illegal.
With our council about to embark on a WFA training course, would you have some references to share on this ruling for the purposes of our training? To be clear, I'm not challenging your position. Just looking for the source of your information so it can be discussed in advance of our training sessions.

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.
