RememberSchiff Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Lightning strikes on NH Griswold Scout Reservation, Camp Bell. This is the NYLT week at Bell. Twenty-three Boy Scouts and three adults were transported to hospitals in Concord and Laconia...Everybody was conscious and stable. "According to fire officials, the scouts were taking shelter underneath a canopy. When the lightning hit, it somehow traveled along a piece of metal and hit the canopy." Six scouts have chest burns. https://www.wmur.com/article/23-boy-scouts-taken-to-hospital-after-lightning-strike-1/5182625 https://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/06/25/several-boy-scouts-recovering-after-lightning-strike-in-nh/ https://whdh.com/news/nh-boy-scouts-hospitalized-after-lightning-strike/ Next week, Camp Bell starts the regular summer program.

JoeBob Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 A curiosity for the someone with more physics education than I: When you have 1000 scouts stacked up in an amphitheater, are we attractive to lightening? We are the highest mass of salt-water in the area. Higher than the lake in front of us. Denser than the trees around us, maybe? ********* Will BSA ban holding hands in an amphitheater is there's a cloud in the sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
