Shilue Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 It has not been a good week for scouting in SC. Last week, there was also an accident near a summer camp in Society Hill, SC, where a longtime Scouter and current camp staffer was killed. And apparently, a troop from Summerville, SC got into a wreck coming home from camp. Everyone was ok in that incident. Really glad my son's troop made it home safely.

m-mckai1 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 On June 30 2012 the husband of a scouting friend of mine drifted left headon into a rv killing him and 3 scouts on the way back from camp. It was his first summer camp with the troop. A fourth victim was a 4 year old in the rv. The scouting world will miss them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eamonn Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 News like this always saddens me. I will of course keep these young men in my prayers. I will also, every time I'm transporting Scouts remember the precious load I have with me and the huge responsibility I have. Ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilue Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 The scout from Columbia, SC is still in the hospital, and probably will remain there for a while. He is in a burn center with second degree chemical burns from gasoline over 60% of his body, and his left leg has been amputated below the knee. Despite all this, his condition seems to be improving, and his family, church, and the Scouting community have been rallying behind him. I have no information on the boys from Greenville and Orlando, but keep all of them in your prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
