To test it, I mentioned it to my son tonight. And he said that is interesting but I am not going to go back and count up all my nights. I said we could do it together and he said no thanks. I asked him how many nights he thinks he has camped with cubs, troops, ship, crew. He said "a lot".... 🙂 -
That is how it has been for Sea Scouting for a while. It works out pretty well.

The cost for the First Aid/CPR/AED is cheap. It is the Wilderness First Aid that is expensive. I'd be interested in knowing how much the WFA cert cards cost.- 38 replies

For our Ship and Crew we have the youth get Red Cross First Aid certified and encourage them to get Wilderness First Aid certified as well. The problem is that those are pricey options- 38 replies

Who knows. I certainly expected different answers but I have been in around 20 EBOR for scouts in multiple districts so I don't think it is coaching from a single source. I expected to hear first aid like the answers that you have gotten but got different ones.- 38 replies

I don't think we are ready for opening that can of worms. It seems to me that there is a decent mix now for the required merit badges. I can't say that I can think of any MB that must be there that isn't and ones that exist that shouldn't be there. There are ones that the scouts may not like but they cover and reinforce part of the scout law and oath. When I ask scouts at their EBOR what merit badges they think are the most important ones it surprises me when they say Personal Management or the Citizenship MB's. But this answer happens a lot.
