This course meets the wilderness first aid requirement for units trekking at national high adventure bases (Philmont, Sea Base, Northern Tier and The Summit) and for other backcountry outings.  It is appropriate for Scouts and Scouters who want to become better prepared for emergencies.  It also fulfills the core first aid requirement for the Venturing Ranger Award.
