After high school, her plan is to begin working in corrections or a related field while gaining experience and preparing for a future career in law enforcement.

Explorer Murray has been working hard toward her goals, and we are excited to see her continue pursuing a career dedicated to serving others. We wish her the best as she starts this next chapter.

At last week’s meeting, the Explorers spent time learning the importance of firearm safety rules and responsible handling while putting those skills to the test in a friendly airsoft competition.

The hands-on training gave the Explorers an opportunity to practice communication, decision making, teamwork, and safety awareness in a fun and controlled environment. A little competition may have been involved too.

Great job to everyone who participated and helped make the night both educational and entertaining.
