First Aid and CPR resource needs should be determined based on the type and level of activity to be performed.
The basic types of First Aid and CPR are:
- CPR- especially involving strenuous and aquatic activities.
- Basic First Aid- recommended for any activity
- Wilderness First Aid (WFA)- at least one person should be trained in WFA for remote high adventures (defined as being an hour or more away from advance care). All four of the BSA high-adventure bases (HAB) require at least one person per trek (two per trek at Philmont Scout Ranch) to be current in WFA through an approved provider.
