ECSI to Publish Boy Scouts First Aid Field Guide
SUDBURY, MA -- The Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI) has announced a new venture with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to provide training resources based on their new Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines.  

A Wilderness First Aid Field Guide and customized Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Instructor’s ToolKit CD are available now. These resources will be distributed by Jones & Bartlett Publishers, the exclusive publisher of the Emergency Care and Safety Institute.

The Emergency Care and Safety Institute will also deliver a series of multi-day “Train-the-Trainer” courses to Boy Scout leaders across the country. These instructor orientation sessions will provide the skills and competencies needed to teach the Wilderness First Aid program, as well as ECSI’s Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillation (AED) courses.

The Boy Scouts of America is composed of 2.7 million youth members between the ages of 7 and 20, 1.1 million volunteers and nearly 300 local councils throughout the United States and its territories.

The Emergency Care and Safety Institute provides training leading to certifications that meet job-related requirements as defined by regulatory authorities such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and state offices of Emergency Medical Services, Education, and Health.
