Explorer Post 41 has been a part of the Swartz Creek Area Firefighters, Inc., since the middle 1980's. For a short time, in the early 90's, the Explorer program wasn't active. However in 1994, it was realized how important the program was to the SCAFD, and was re-started. With the financial help of the Swartz Creek Area Firefighters, Inc., the group re-organized itself and has been self-sufficient ever since.


The Explorer Program is a vocationally oriented division of the Boy Scouts of America, Learning for Life Division It is open to young people ages, 14-21, that have graduated from the 8th grade, who are interested in exploring future career opportunities. Post 41 is sponsored and run by the Swartz Creek Area Firefighters, Inc, but any post can be established and be sponsored and run by any, public or private, organization or company. The sponsors provide a meeting place and skilled advisors to run the post.
