Mountaineer Search and Rescue

Mountaineer Search and Rescue We are a volunteer team devoted to helping our community. We specialize in man tracking but that is not all that we are limited to!

This page was set up to educate our community and surrounding areas that there is someone out there that will be ready to come find you if you're lost. We also are very active in our community helping out with as many things as possible. For example we assist in the Cameron County Canoe and Kayak Classic by lining the stream to help any paddlers that may flip during the race. We also put the flags

out in town. One major thing for us that has developed over the past few years is the annual big foot hunt they we do as a fundraiser that has seemed to be a very big hit! This is just a snapshot of what we do and can do. We hope you enjoy looking at our page and getting updated on the things we do! Thank you so much for your SUPPORT!
