The Ranger Staff training program is for highly motivated cadets who want to become part of the Hawk Mountain Ranger School staff.  Students will experience on-the-job training as probationary staff while learning 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.
