Scouting.org states: BSA has identified the following providers as meeting the BSA’s requirements for WFA training: American Red Cross, Emergency Care & Safety Institute, and (3) providers accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) under the ACA’s standard “HW.2.2/ST.3.2 First Aid & Emergency Care Personnel”. WFA courses offered by any other provider does not meet the BSA’s requirements. The ACA does not review courses for BSA units.
If WFA is required for your adventure, then you must obtain a certificate from one of the providers listed above. In addition, a current CPR/AED certificate is also needed. If you have specific questions on equivalencies, reach out to the entity running the program requiring WFA.
