John-in-KC 311 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm curious. Long, long ago, several of us in our Troop took 1st Aid MB together. An area dentist was our Counselor. We did a "spiral" method of learning... learn a little, test a little, learn a little more ... until we finally got to the point of being evaluated. We met with him weekly after his business day for two months. We EARNED that MB To teach the skills of First Aid so they aren't "learned and quickly lost", what do you think the 80% solution for training time is in the current world???

Beavah 205 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Wilderness First Aid classes are typically 16-24 hours. Those can be good classes, leastways for adults. I think folks still end up forgettin' a fair bit, even with the usual 3-year renewal requirements. I know some crews that specialize in that area where the kids take Wilderness First Responder (usually an 80-hour course). B Link to post Share on other sites
