“Survival Weekend” is an annual competition open to Explorers from across the state. Hosted at BSA Camp Raven Knob in Mt. Airy, the competition tests physical agility, strength, and teamwork, all while building quality leadership characteristics.
We are proud of all of our Explorers and their many accomplishments! (The results of the competition are as follows and are in no particular order in which the events occurred.)

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 975 Program started around 1970 and is the oldest Post in the State of North Carolina. Open to well-qualified young men and women that are at least 14 years old, have completed eighth (8th) grade, and are not yet 21 years old, the program is designed to bring awareness of the criminal justice system.
