VAS Explorer Post 911

Exploring is part of the Boy Scouts of America’s Learning for Life Program. An Explorer Post helps young people, aged 14 (and have completed the 8th grade) through 20, to mature and prepare to become responsible, caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities. They are ready to begin exploring who they are and what they want to become. Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their community.
A well-rounded Post Program not only provides career information and experiences, but also includes five other experience areas. These include mental and physical fitness, social, citizenship, service and outdoor activities.

The goals and purposes of the VAS EMS Explorer Post are two-fold. One is to assist high school aged youth in defining their present and future roles as individuals within their society. The post will also provide an opportunity for them to gain exposure to certain aspects of emergency pre-hospital medical care and other related fields prior to entering their choice of secondary education.

These goals will be achieved through an extensive and varied program. This includes an Ambulance Observation Program available to interested VAS EMS Explorers upon meeting the requirements for admission.
