Still not figured out how you'll be participating for Scorched Nuts 2008? Do you want to see and be seen? Do you have a patience, good walking shoes, patience, good communication skills, sense of humor, and more patience? Do you just have a way about you that seems to simmer people down? Do you want to be an integral part of SN '08 going off without a hitch?

If you answered yes to the above, then being a Ranger just might be the opportunity that you were looking for!

The Rangers are a cross-section of the community who volunteer some of their time in the role of non-confrontational community mediators. Responding to the ever-changing environment, we address within our community situations that would otherwise require outside intervention. By encouraging and facilitating communication, the Rangers promote awareness of potential hazards, from sunstroke to tent fires. We are emphatically not the police or a paramilitary organization. Rangers are the mediators of public safety and providers of information.

The shifts are flexible, reasonable, and pretty damned fun. You'll be required to have a walkie talkie (and use it properly), walk around the grounds, stopping into camps to chat, spread info (such as: If it didn't come from your body, don't put it in the potty....that you're a Ranger and what you do.....that sort of thing), and be ready to deal with any situations that may arise. Last year Scorched Nuts was pretty quiet, and probably will be again this year.

THANKS!!!
