Real-world case studies were reviewed to illustrate important principles.
Immersive simulation exercises were undertaken to practice immediate search methods. Both water team and land-based teams practiced incident command methodologies and location of victims. Water rescue techniques were reviewed and practiced by boy scouts and their leaders.
