Join the Team

Search and rescue patch

Maryland Search & Rescue is an all-volunteer team, and we're usually looking for new members to get involved. While prior wilderness, search and rescue, or related experience is helpful, no experience is necessary to join the team. We train in all of our core competencies, including searching for a missing person, rescuing those in need, operating safely, and being self-reliant in the wilderness.

Currently, however, we are not accepting applications for new members. If you are interested in joining the team, please feel free to reach out to join@msar.us and let us know of your interest. We'll get back to you once we open applications once again.

In the meantime, you can look at our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about how we work, the process to join, and the expectations of new members.
