First Aid - Wilderness First Aid

Expert: Stephen Bernhard - 1/1/2008

Question
Are you able to share with an Akron, Ohio area Boy Scout Troop any local contacts of Wilderness First Aid course providers who have classes scheduled in the first half of 2008? We are headed to Philmont Scout Ranch for a High adventure trip in July. Thank you.

Answer
Hi Joe,

I was unable to locate anyone in the available in the Akron area that teaches this course. Below I have 2 links for you to search the centers affiliated with ASHI and ECSI. As I am unfamiliar with the Akron area, maybe you will be able to find a nearby instructor in an adjacent area.

I will continue to look through my contacts just to be sure.

Thanks,
Stephen
