Ground Search and Rescue Training April 2022

Hello everyone,

We are hosting ground search and rescue training in Millbrook this spring and are looking for participants. This is open to all of you and to community members. We have attached an info poster for the training to be shared with community members that we ask that you distribute.

There will be three 55 hr. Basic Searcher courses offered. This course will cover the basics of ground SAR with topics like map reading, GPS, search patterns, search management, psychology of survival, and navigation. Upon completion, successful students will qualify to become a member of their local GSAR team. 

We will also be running one 44 hr. Team Leader course for those who are successful in the Basic Searcher and are interested in being a search leader. This course will provide a more in-depth look at ground SAR map reading, GPS, search patterns, search management, psychology of survival, and navigation. Upon completion, successful students will qualify to be placed in a leadership role on their local GSAR team.

Criminal Records Check and Vulnerable Sectors Check are both required for participation.
