Wilderness First Aid

Join us at Disney California Adventure Park to celebrate Scouting's 115th Birthday with an exclusive before park opening party!

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) for scouting is a set of essential skills and knowledge to handle medical emergencies in outdoor settings where professional help may be delayed. It emphasizes the basics of injury prevention, recognition of common illnesses, and immediate care techniques for a wide range of situations. Key topics include:

  1. Assessment: How to assess the environment and the injured or ill person.
  2. Treatment: Techniques like splinting, wound care, CPR, and managing hypothermia or heat-related illnesses.
  3. Communication: How to effectively communicate with team members and get help.
  4. Self-care and safety: Ensuring safety for both the rescuer and the patient.

In scouting, these skills are vital for outdoor adventures, ensuring scouts are equipped to handle emergencies until help arrives.
