Review for WHEATON VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD INC, Wheaton, MD, USA
When our old sponsor decided they didn't have room for an Explorer Post anymore, Wheaton VRS opened it's doors an adopted the Montgomery County First Aid Unit, Explorer Post 742.
Exploring is a co-ed, career based offshoot of Boy Scouts of America geared to youth ages 14-20. Our Post is an EMS Post, which is youth run and provides training to the Emergency Medical Responder level. The Post provides standby first aid coverage for public and private events, with the youth providing most of the care.
By opening their doors to the Post, WVRS helped keep a unique learning and community service opportunity running, which has introduced hundreds of teens to the EMS profession since it's creation at the Red Cross in 1962.
