Wilderness First Aid Training 2026
What is wilderness first aid?
Wilderness first aid, or “WFA”, is a generic term that commonly refers to any training course that focuses on prevention, assessment, and treatment for an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care by a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. This is defined as being an hour or more away from advanced care. WFA courses are intended for anyone planning a remote high adventure, from lay responders to medical professionals.
Who needs WFA?
Youth (14 years old and up) and adult Scout leaders are encouraged to take a 16-hour WFA course based on the specific curriculum developed by Scouting America, which includes a management dimension that most course fail to address. Participants will likely find it the most valuable program they’ll ever take.
All four of Scouting America high-adventure bases (HAB) require at least one person per trek (two per trek at Philmont Scout Ranch) to be current in WFA through one of Scouting America approved providers. Of course, having more participants trained in WFA skills is highly recommended for any high adventure or backcountry experience.
Scouting America has identified the following providers as meeting Scouting America’s requirements
for WFA training:

American Red Cross (ARC)

16 hour in person training

Emergency Care & Safety Institute (ECSI)

16 hour blended learning

8 hour self-paced online training

Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service
2025-12-12 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | IN
January 19, 2026 will be an important moment for Scouts across the country as we create opportunities to participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service.
This day invites every American to step forward and strengthen their communities through meaningful volunteer work, and Scouts will be ready to lead by example.
Across Scouting America, we encourage your unit to plan service projects that reflect the values Dr. King championed. Scouts can take part in community cleanups, support local shelters and food programs, assist service organizations, and look for thoughtful ways to lift up neighbors who need a hand.
Let’s make it a “Day On, Not a Day Off,” and a chance for young people to show what service in action looks like.
Dr. King’s connection to Scouting began in his youth when he was a member of Troop 151 in Atlanta. His time in Scouting helped nurture a spirit of leadership and community responsibility that would later define his work for justice and equality.
As we look ahead to MLK Day 2026, we encourage every unit to plan a project that reflects the heart of Dr. King’s legacy. By serving with purpose, Scouts will honor his message and continue the work of building stronger and more caring communities.
The MLK Day of Service emblem is available online or can be ordered through the LaSalle Council, Scouting America Scout Shop.
