The alumni program of FWD has grown to over 600 members including those who have “aged out” and many who need “time out.” There are many reasons to take a few years off including COVID, family, education, work and moving. Joining the NSP Alimni is a good way to stay connected with NSP and maintaining your years of service. If an alumni maintains OEC, they can transition back in to active patrolling.
In either event, it’s easy to become an Alumni. Log on to nsp.org > Programs > Alumni > Become an Alumni then Print and complete registration form, include your annual dues ($50) and mail to NSP.
Initial registration is snail mail and renewal is by email like your previous NSP dues. Alumni do not have to pay regional or divisional dues. Your former PR needs to remove you from their Active patrol roster before registering as an Alumni. Let your former PR know if you want to continue to be associated with the patrol. Alumni can teach, serve on committees, fund raise, help out with refresher and some patrols allow alumni to act as hosts and guides.
