I should probably mention that their patrol and troop first aid kits will have more and better tools in them for larger emergencies, such as the emt shears for cutting clothing. This is for their personal first aid kits, which includes tape, moleskin, and gauze pads so pretty sure they only intended for the scissors to be able to cut those types of materials.

That said, i'm thinking it may not hurt for them to have a pair of those emt shears in their personal kits as well.
