You have plenty of company here;  many other subscribers
here are involved with young teams.  Perhaps now would be
a good time for a round of introductions?

By the way, what is the name for search and rescue in Spain?

A popular activity is a pretend or "mock" search, where 
the subject is not really lost or injured.  Another is 
"orienteering" or navigating using a map and compass to
find objects;  this is very popular in Europe.

Some books and other resources you may find helpful are
listed on the MSAR website's main page:
