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
