First I would like to thank everyone for their time and input. I was unable to get back to update everyone, as my youngest was not feeling too well and had to perform Daddy duty and then go in for my duty shift on the medic unit. So, here is where it stands now, after I had the opportunity to discuss with the leader in some detail, what their goals for the day were to entail. The activity will be a combination of instruction and an actual rescue scenario. This activity will involve around10 scouts between the ages of 10 and 17. They are planning on camping Friday night and the leader thought he might have a few scouts drop out since the weather is suppose to get quite nasty around here over the next few days. On Sat. we will all meet at the park headquarters, where one of the rangers will discuss with them on how to prepare for search activities and the basics of search, we will then present and demonstrate patient assessment and packaging. We will then go over some basic safety and rigging techniques. I am hoping one of our team members who is also on the Dog Team will be able to demonstrate search techniques with his dog. One of the rangers will then hide, with the understanding that he was able to contact 911 before he went unconscious and his cell phone died, he indicated he is lost, has a broken leg and is suffering from hypothermia. The scouts will then perform a search, hopefully locate the victim, assess his injuries, perform basic first aid, package the patient and then set up a haul system to get him up a steep embankment. In discussing with the leader, he and I agreed there would not be enough time to incorporate the climbing activities. I will be making copies of the kit lists and other pertinent information to be handed out. Hopefully, the weather will not be too bad and we can proceed with the activity, if so I will let you all know how it worked out. Thanks Pete
