Washington Explorer Search and Rescue (ESAR) - Kitsap County Unit is an outdoor oriented service organization that has been volunteering its time and skills to the community since 1978. ESAR members are co-ed teens (14 - 20) and adults interested in helping others. The Unit is registered with the Boy Scouts of America and the Washington State Department of Emergency Management (DEM).

Certified ESAR members are called upon by sheriff offices and National Parks at anytime of the day or night for DEM authorized missions anywhere within the county and throughout the state. Missions might include searching for lost persons or aircraft, rescuing injured persons, assisting in evidence searches, and helping with natural disasters. To become certified a member must complete seven challenging training weekends held during the winter months. To remain certified a member must keep their training and first aid requirements current. The Unit trains throughout the year in all weather conditions to develop proficiency and self confidence in search and rescue techniques. This training includes subjects such as first aid, map and compass, wilderness navigation, clothing and equipment, radio communications, and leadership. Unit members are never sent into the field alone during training or on actual missions. Besides training, there are other activities including hiking, backpacking, and snow outings.
