First Aid Plan

Every troop must bring a person trained with the GS CPR/First Aid.  If you need the training, you can register for a class here.

We will have a Camp Central Station set up which will be staffed all the time.   If there is an emergency which the troop first aider cannot handle, the person manning the station will know what to do.


The rangers cannot administer emergency first aid. 

Calling paramedics:  There are paramedics in the area who can arrive within 10-15 minutes with full gear.  First responders listen to the radio calls, and are often there within 5 minutes.

There are several health centers in Ramona, but they are closed on the weekends.

The closest hospital is:

Palomar Medical Center
555 East Valley Parkway
Escondido, CA 92025  
(760) 739-3000

Notes on level 2 first aider, not needed.
