    A group of children, appearing to be Boy Scouts based on visible uniform patches, are gathered outdoors with what appear to be search and rescue or Coast Guard personnel wearing yellow helmets and orange/red life vests. The setting is a natural outdoor area with dense green vegetation in the background. The interaction appears to be an educational or demonstration event where rescue professionals are engaging with the youth group.
    A search and rescue operation is underway on a grassy hillside terrain. Two rescue personnel wearing yellow helmets and red safety harnesses are managing a Stokes basket litter suspended by a cable, likely connected to a helicopter above the frame. A person appears to be secured inside the rescue basket, being hoisted or lowered during the extraction.
