CPR/ Information answer

[Eagle Foot 10]

After contacting the ARC [American Red Cross] training headquarters for the southern region. This is what they said;

 

In order to teach CPR using ARC training method you must be certified instructure. If you have an assistant training, they must be certified. Both must be certified as trainers.

 

The training ratio is 6/1... if the trainer has multiple years of experience then an allowance up to 8/1 ratio can be made. Most important if your Troop, Pack, Crew, or any organization is considering holding CPR training, make sure they present you their certification as a trainer before you go and set it all up. If not politely find someone else.

 

Rember... every Scout deserves to have a trained leader...

Wow! The last two times I got certified, we had about 10 or 12 in the class with one instructor.
