imascouter 10 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 This from the Red Cross webpage at www.redcross.org: Red Cross and Boy Scouts Sign Historic Training Agreement Millions will be equipped with lifesaving techniques as the Boy Scouts become an authorized provider of Red Cross health and safety programs. An interesting read -- check it out! Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I think that's great. During my days in Scouts, completing the appropriate Red Cross first aid or lifesaving cours was de facto completion of the related merit badges. I don't know if that was actual policy or just the convention of the local MB counselors. I don't know if that's where they are headed with this agreement, but wouldn't be a bad idea. Red Cross courses and training is, generally, very well done. Not only did I take the RC courses as a Scout, but I eventually became a RC swimming and lifesaving instructor and a CPR instructor-trainer. Link to post Share on other sites
bt01 10 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 This sounds like a "good" thing. I hope that it works out. Link to post Share on other sites
