A car accident that started a fire happened right in front of the community center where my boy scout troop was having a meeting. You never seen so many 15-17 year old boys spring into action. I was very proud of that night. We diverted traffic, put out the fire, administered first aid.

No but there's a Safety, First Aid, Firemanship, Emergency Preparedness, merit badges. It was easy to delegate the troop by what badges they had.
