REC3 Ventures 2026

25th -26th April 2026

Kilcoona Scout Hall

When an emergency occurs in the wilderness, help can be 4-6 hours away.  This can turn a minor medical situation or trauma into a life-threatening situation. This course aims to equip you with skills and confidence to stabilise the situation until help arrives. You will learn skills that are not taught on basic first aid courses.

Remote Emergency Care level 3 has an internationally recognised curriculum. The course fulfils the requirements of all major sporting governing bodies, including Scouting Ireland, Mountaineering Ireland and Canoe Ireland. It is run by outdoor medical experts with experience in both the medical field and in outdoor pursuits.

For Ventures, this gives the Emergency 5 badge. This course is subsidised from the full price of €150 (Subject to grant application) for Kilcoona Ventures. While the material taught is serious, the scenarios make this a fun and engaging course.
