Program

Teams: Patrols must be from existing patrols. Patrols may not be mixed from different troops. Venturers are currently not allowed to participate in the council meet. 

Scenarios: For each scenario, there will be five Scouts allowed in the contest grid. All other patrol members must sit out. Each member should serve as a victim in at least one scenario. No books, electronic devices, apps, cards, or pamphlets are allowed. The final scenario will be a Mega Scenario, in which all five Scouts will have injuries that require first aid.

Judging:  The judging standard will be the current Scout Handbook, First Aid Merit Badge pamphlet, and current American Red Cross (2016) guidelines. Scouts will need to know how to perform CPR with respirations and compressions and how to use an AED.

Judges: Every patrol should provide at least one Scouter or Scout parent that can serve as a judge. While not mandatory for participation, this adult judge will ensure enough judges to assist with the meet and finish in a timely manner. Judges will be instructed in scoring procedures prior to the scenarios and will not judge their own district's team.

Leadership: Every patrol is to provide two adult leaders.

What to Bring:  Every patrol is expected to provide all equipment needed to perform first aid problems, including poles and blankets or other material for making an improvised stretcher; a troop/patrol size first aid kit with splints, bandages, and sunscreen; rescue breathing apparatus/mannequin; sleeping bag; bottles of water for patrol members; patrol flag with stand and patrol sign (as shown in registration materials).

Medical Forms: Every participant needs to bring a copy of the BSA Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A and B for all Scouting events). 

Awards: Medals will be given to the top three teams (five per team). Every participant will receive a patch.
