What we’re about
Medics & Radios is a Post Apocalyptic Live Action Role Play game (LARP) that teaches real world outdoor skills using scenario training.
The basic M&R scenario is that you are on the other side of 'the apocalypse' and have found an old fart who is retired from adventuring and runs (very) basic outdoor skills training.
The Medics & Radios Basic Course meets the BSA merit badge qualifications for First Aid, Radio and Rifle Shooting.
Our monthly drills will draw from Hiking, Orienteering, Geocaching, Backpacking, Camping, Emergency Preparedness, Wilderness Survival and Search & Rescue.
FEMA IS 100, 200, 700 and 800 are free online certifications required by every emergency services and law enforcement agency in the US and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) has free online Wildland Firefighter courses, which are the basic academic training for Wildland Firefighters.
The Medics & Radios Basic Course is 3 merit badge equivalencies plus enough FEMA and NWCG training to roleplay functioning as a wildland firefighter.
Boy Scout Merit Badge Standards
Medics & Radios is not involved with Scouting and all our courses and events are for adults only (18+), but the courses are developed to merit badge standards because it provides a consistent goal that any adult should be able to reach.
The first aid techniques in the First Aid merit badge are all the first aid there is, for instance. Anything more complex than Boy Scout first aid is officially called pre-hospital care.
Using merit badge standards gives everyone involved a consistent goal.
