Emergency Services/High Adventure
Explorer Post 440
Serving The Youth of Lincoln County into the Next Century!
Post 440 History (in brief).
Emergency Services Explorer Post 440 was established in 1994 as a Law Enforcement Post through the Merrill Police Department. Since then, Post 440 has grown to encompass all of the Emergency Services fields through the continued cooperation of the Lincoln County Emergency Services Agencies.
In 1997 a movement was made within the Post to become focused on High Adventure activities as well, so it was agreed to encompass these activities into the post schedule.
Now as we move into the 21st century, Post 440 has done a complete overhaul of its programming. The Lincoln County Deputy's Association has agreed to become our new sponsor, and as a result, we have gained a few new faces which bring with them more knowledge, and hope for a better program.
What is Post 440?
Explorer Post 440 is an organization open to all youth ranging in age from 14 to 21 throughout Lincoln County. Members of Post 440 dedicate themselves to learning more about the different careers in the fields of Law Enforcement, Fire Fighting, & Emergency Medical Services, as well as the surrival techniques of the Great Outdoors. They gain this knowledge through numerous training sessions that they attend during the year, their numerous hands on experiences, as well as their continued, outstanding community service projects during the year.

The year is again highlighted by the E.P.A.'s Fall Recognition, and Awards banquet held in early November.

Also, in 1996 and 1998 our head advisor was awarded with the council's Advisor of the Year Award. Along with this, Post 440 would like to congratulate one of its charter members, Myron Oestreich, for being Samoset Council's Explorer Of The Year for 1998.
