Welcome to the Avon Fire / Rescue Explorer Website

The Avon Fire Rescue Explorer post was first chartered in the early 1980's. Since that time, we have become one of the premier posts in the Crossroads of America Council.

The Avon Fire Explorers are part of Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15 through 20 years old.

Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities. Exploring gives young people an opportunity to see if a particular career interest is right for them, before they invest a lot of time and effort only to find out they do not like it.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate an Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.
