    Brian sounds like an outstanding Scout!
    I shared this “Scouts in Action” story with the Scouts in my Troop. We are working on Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge, and the boys really felt an appreciation for the “stress” that they might feel if an emergency were to involve a close friend or loved one.

  6. “Best story every!!” That is what my 8yr old Wolf said after listening. Go Scouts.
