The Emergency-O-Ree is an event that challenges Scouts in troops to perform first aid in simulated real-life situations. Scouts in patrols compete in practical first aid and emergency problems, displaying hands-on skills from the Boy Scout Handbook, First Aid Merit Badge pamphlet and current American Red Cross guidelines.  Scouts in each Patrol will take turns demonstrating their leadership under challenging and unexpected conditions. The goal is that each Scout would leave at the end of the weekend with more knowledge and skill in first aid and emergency management, and confidence in their abilities.
