At this time, we are working with American Red Cross and volunteers from across the council to create a plan to facilitate in-person CPR/First Aid trainings in 2023-2024.
Due to concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic and a limited pool of available facilitators, Girl Scouts of the USA and GSSC-MM encourage all volunteers interested in receiving their CPR and First Aid certifications to do so online, using the American Red Cross "Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED Online" course. This online course will prepare you to recognize and care for emergencies and features award-winning simulation learning and interactive experiences where you will respond to real-world emergencies in a virtual setting to help prepare you to recognize and respond to a variety of first aid, breathing and cardiac emergencies involving adults, children and infants.
As with all approved CPR/First Aid courses, GSSC-MM will reimburse eligible volunteers (one per troop/per year) up to $35 to cover the costs of the course. To receive reimbursement, first purchase the course on your own ($35), complete the course (average time: 2 hours, 45 minutes), and submit your proof of payment, completion, and a reimbursement request form to customercare@gssc-mm.org.
