I'm a redcross gaurd so can I gaurd on a boy scout camp out? and I thought that the RC training was very technical but the hardest thing phisacly was the 300 yard in-test the and it does focuas on pool type scenarios but traing is the best around no way can bsa be better the training books and videos are descriptive and good. and you walk away with not only red cross lifegaurd but RC first aid,cpr and aed cirts so I dont know anything about bsa life gaurd but I guess what I'm saying is if bsa doesent except redcoss they probly should but I dont know about the other way around
