Founded
in 1956, Hawk Mountain Ranger
School
is the longest running Search & Rescue school in the country.
Students as young as 13
and through adulthood
are faced with challenging tasks
and intense training,
both in leadership
and practical skills.
The confidence
gained through facing these challenges prepares graduates to face challenges
not only in SAR,
but in all aspects of life.
Throughout the training, students embody the
CAP core values.
Integrity,
to the point of letting go of
personal desires
is the main focus of the Ranger
Creed,
which concludes:
"These things I do, that others may
live..." |
The Ranger Creed
It is my duty as a member of the
Rangers of the Civil Air Patrol ground search and rescue service, to
save lives, aid the injured, and protect their property.
In order to do this, I will
keep myself physically fit at all times.
I will be prepared at all times
to perform
my assigned duties quickly and efficiently, placing these duties before my personal
desires and comfort.
These things I do that others may
live...
