SAR exercise at Dilleys Mill (WV) Scout Camp


Recommended Posts

Exercise scenario: the simulated lost scout suffered from Asperger Syndrome and was last seen arguing with two other boys near the camp chapel. The scout had wandered off in an undetermined direction.

 

More than 20 SAR units from 6 states participated.

 

Does anyone know if any scout units participated or observed, particularly given that the Summit is in West Virginia SAR area.

I don't know about the Summit, but I do know that PHILMONT has helped with SAR training, as well as some council camps.

 

One of my Scouts got hooked on SAR after seeing a demo at a Scouting event. His Eagle project was building portble training elements for the dogs, and he trained a dog for SAR. Once he was old enough to join, he did, both have been to Philmont and other Scout camps for training.

 

So it would nto surprise me if the SUMMIT did help.
