The Scout: 8 Hour Online Training

<8 HOURS OF DOWNLOADABLE MATERIALS>

The scout is in many ways the most important role in the team. Our scouts have real-world missions, ahead of our Herbal Medics ground teams. The scouts arrive in advance in order to be able to assess the needs of communities, whether underserved or post disaster; and create a working plan that includes the full spectrum of preparation for a team mission.

Scouts must be prepared for worst-case scenarios, whether it is post disaster in the US or abroad. This includes learning skills like escape and evasion and survival in the field.

The Online training will include these topics. This will help students prepare for the 6-day on-site intensive training.

Introduction to route planning
Introduction to land navigation
Covert survival techniques, escape and evasion
Budgeting: understanding the financial aspects of a mission
Making contact: the ins and outs of creating liaisons
Mapping: physical, cultural, linguistic and economic
Logistics: Transport, equipment, resources, packing
Communication: An introduction to radio and non-radio communication for the scout
Mission planning for a team

This is only the online portion of instruction prior to the on-site intensive (6-day) and can be taken by itself. You can take the online course separately, but if you want to take the on-site, this is a requirement.
