The League of Venturers Search and Rescue were established in England in August 1961. The League of Venturers Search and Rescue were established to show that teenagers, if given the training, equipment, opportunity and trust could provide a valuable service to the adult community. They provide a sea rescue service for the Coastguard and a land rescue service for the Police. Venturers are manned by volunteers aged 12–21.

Famous quotes containing the words search and/or rescue:
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Whether your child is 3 or 13, don’t rush in to rescue him until you know he’s done all he can to rescue himself.”
—Barbara F. Meltz (20th century)
