EMS EXPLORER POST 3300

NORTHFIELD, MN AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES


What’s an EMS Explorer?
            EMS Exploring is a hands-on, career-exploring experience for young people between the ages of 14-20 organized through the Exploring program, a division of the Boy Scouts of America. EMS, Emergency Medical Services, is the medical emergency services provided by first responders, EMTs and paramedics. Our post is designed to allow post members to learn about EMS, get hands-on experience with emergency medical care, provides opportunities to develop leadership and to allow for education pertaining to emergency medicine with the guidance of our advisors.

What does Explorer Post 3300 do?
            Our explorer post is post-member driven. We have elected officers, all of which are elected by the post majority. Post meetings are held every other week in Northfield. Our meetings consist of one hour of post affairs, such as going over minutes, post status, and planning fundraisers and post events. Recent activities that have been held are First Responder certification, a 24-hour fire/ambulance mock service event in conjunction with the Farmington Fire Post 9470, bike helmet fitting and sales on behalf of Northfield Hospital EMS. Upcoming event include a Wilderness First Aid certification/camping trip, First Aid care provided to community events such as soccer tournaments and a youth triathlon. The later half of the meetings are dedicated to exercises pertaining to emergency medicine or speakers presenting on post-picked topics. Topics to be presented in the near future are Interacting with Mental Health in the Emergency Setting, the History of EMS, and Understanding Heart Attacks.
