Montgomery County Search and Rescue

⛑️SPRING FIELD TRAINING⛑️

Field training for our MOCSAR team yesterday was a huge success! The team spent the day taking part in a training exercise designed to practice the skills needed to find missing hikers.

The mission was to find 4 missing children in the WG Jones State Forest. We split into two teams who were both able to successfully recover all 4 kids. This training focused on:

👏 Teamwork
👏 Navigation and maps
👏 Radios and communication
👏 Physical endurance for walking miles in woods
👏 Testing our gear and packs
👏 Preserving integrity of potential crime scenes

We practiced, learned, and grew together as a stronger team. Training is important not only for new members, but also to help reinforce and share the skills of our experienced SAR members as well.

Thank you to all of our team who participated and the kid victim volunteers! A special thank you to our board leadership (Melissa, Phillip, Stacey and Alicia) for organizing and leading this training!

We’ve launched our GoFundMe campaign!

As a 100% volunteer and donor-funded nonprofit, our ability to serve and support our community depends entirely on the generosity of others. This campaign has been created to help us secure the training and equipment necessary to continue our work safely and effectively.

We strive to be mindful in our requests, but the reality is that we cannot do this alone. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting our mission.

MOCSAR will be at this event as well, come see us this Saturday!
