bandaids
antiseptic
snake bite kit
adehisive tape
scissors
gauze pads

some bandages or band-aids in various sizes, anti-septic cream, some hydrogen peroxide for disinfectant purposes, some gauges to cover cuts and wounds in various sizes, some tylenol for pain relief, and that should be good. you're only cub scout, so you don't need to go all out and buy the whole pharmacy..just keep it simple.

Use first aid kit in the search box of sportsmanguide.com. The list of ingredients should be self explanatory.

Band aids

antiseptic wipes and spray to kill germs on cuts and scrapes

Tweezers for splinters

gauze pads
gauze strips
sterile tape
for bandaging larger wounds
Scissors to cut the gauze strips

Sanitizing hand cleaner that needs no water so you can clean your own hands before handling someone elses wounds

Rubber gloves because you don't want to use your bare hands on an open wound, in case the other person has a communicable disease

face mask (the disposable type) because you don't want someone elses bodily fluids getting into your mouth accidentally.

I assume you can't buy one, you have to make one? You can go to a store and look at a kit, and write down what it has, then buy them. Here are some basics.
Bandaids, small and large.
Gauze pads, and gauze wrap
Ace bandage
Intibiotic ointment, like Neosporin
Alcohol prep wipes
Benedryl - for treating allergic reactions, like bee stings, etc.
Tweezers, safety pins - splinters, etc.
Medical Tape

These are the basics - much more could be added.

Here's what I keep:
Latex Gloves- Don't want to get my dirty hands in someones wound.
Mouth barrier- For CPR
Splint- for beroken bones-
Gauze Pads and moleskin- wors for me as a remedy to blisters.
Regular sized band-aids
Roller Bandage 2"and 1"
Triangular bandages

pick up a trauma or first responder kit from the local medical supply their a bit pricy but they have everything you'll ever need for a life threatening emergency

The only required items are gloves, some form of eye protection, soap, and a breathing barrier. I also recommend gauze squares, band-aids, a crevat, roller bandages, advil, and steril wipes. And please, whatever you do, don't add a snake bite kit. They just take up space.
