CPR, First Aid, and Wilderness First Aid Courses

Longhorn Council,  in partnership with ECSI (Emergency Care and Safety Institute), is sponsoring First Aid Training at the Longhorn Activity Center, 5350 Basswood Boulevard, Fort Worth. ECSI training courses were developed in association with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the American College of Emergency Physicians.
