This course prepares you to recognize and care for a variety of first aid, breathing, and cardiac emergencies. At the end of this course, Girl Scouts will earn the First Aid Badge and be certified in the Health & Safety Institute's First Aid, CPR, and AED for children and infants. Certification from this course is good for two years.
This is a Blended Learning course. That means there is an
online knowledge portion of the course that must be completed prior to
this in-person skills session. Two weeks before your course, you will
receive an email with instructions and a link to complete the online
class, which will take approximately 3 hours and may be paused and
resumed. When you complete the online class with a passing score, you
will receive a certificate of completion. You must bring this
certificate with you to the in-person course.
*This course requires you to get up and down from a kneeling
position and deliver high quality chest compressions and rescue
breaths from a kneeling position.*
Each participant will receive a Senior or Ambassador First Aid Badge and digital copy of their certification.
