In the Parent Committee meeting on January 6, 2015, we talked about the need for at least two of the four adults who are going on the Philmont hiking trip this summer to be certified in Wilderness First Aid.
Troop 26 will pay for this training.

Details for the training can be found here.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
