The Ranger Staff training program is for highly motivated cadets and seniors that want to become part of the Staff for Hawk Mountain Ranger School. Students will be put through a 9-day course that will teach effective teaching techniques, safety considerations of staffing NCSAs, in-depth Ranger & ground team skills, how to properly evaluate both, and basic leadership concepts. Students will also learn how to effectively mentor and teach students. A comprehensive and intense 3-day survival and evaluation hike will be conducted. Once the student completes and passes the program they will receive their Yellow Scarf and become a probationary member of the Hawk Mountain Ranger School instructor staff.

There will be an interview, written exam, and physical fitness tests given by our staff prior to committing you to this course.
