This is for bragging rights! This is a competition; it is not a training. That's right who is the best of the best at helping others when things don't go as expected. 

We will have 2 divisions: One for patrols under 14 and one for older scouts. The first division is based on First Aid and Emergency Preparedness Merit Badges. The latter is based on Wilderness First Aid. The scenarios will get tougher as the event goes on. The scenarios will make an Eagle Scout struggle. So "Be Prepared."

Please sign up as a unit if possible. Individuals or smaller units will be combined with another group if needed.

See Leaders' Guide for more details and maybe even a few hints.

Participants will receive the exclusive UFC26 Patch. Patrols will receive a flagpole ribbon. The top patrol in each division will take home a special first place ribbon.

Everyone should bring a brownbag lunch, and please note this is a peanut free event due to a known peanut allergy.
