I want to be prepared in case Chester (about a 50 lb chow/
lab mix) has an encounter with scorpions or rattlesnakes.

You'd be naive to think scorpions and rattlesnakes are the
greatest threat to your dog Chester. They're HARMLESS in the
face of your ignorance as to how to properly train Chester
to avoid ALL toxic critters like Coral Snakes, Gila Monsters,
Tarantula, Brown, and Black Widow spiders, toads, centipedes
and the wide variety of toxic critters and plants he'll likely
find in your house and backyward.

What should I have on hand for emergency care before
I can get him to the vet?

You can easily train Chester not to molest wildlife nor eat
toxic plants or even chew the infameous chicken bone if you
learn how to disabuse him of such nonsense.

I've heard Benedryll works for humans
in the event of a *scorpion sting,

Scorpion stings are generally not deathly. Coral snakes
and Gila Monsters are probably the most toxic and readily
available dangers in the south / south west and unless you
actually SEE the bite you'd never know Chester had tangled
with a venomous animal as they do not have fangs which leave
marks.

but is it advisable for emergency canine treatment?

It'll take you just a few minutes to teach Chester to
avoid molesting critters and eating toxic plants he's
got no business disturbing in the first place:
