Checkout the Wilderness Survival merit badge, plenty of E&E skills there, and if the Scouts have blue cards you can sign them off. Look at becoming a Merit Badge counselor, Wilderness Survival, Orienteering, Radio, Rifle Shooting, First Aid are all skills you have as a QP. There are others but you can only do six.
Last year during Icicle I took the Leadership Patrol up on OA hill, while the patrols were in competition. We build shelters, started fires without matches, determined direction without a compass and navigated by memory. The Scout Field Book is an excellent reference, and I used it teaching survival long after I left scouts. Have fun; I am in the Harford District, let me know if you need some other guidance/help.
Remember:"It’s a game with a purpose".
