This has really got me shaken up. My nephew became an Eagle Scout the week before the storm hit us. And with all the mess we went through after trying to find a place to stay, he decided not to rejoin. If he had, where he is living and if he had rejoined the scouts he would have been at that campout. I just watched a video of two of the boys talking about what happened and the adrenline the have running through them is the adrenline i had running through me for weeks after the storm. I can feel that adrenline now that they have and hope they can get through this with the help of their families. I havent prayed in a very long time, but have said a little prayer for these brave heros that battled the elements to save their fellow scouts.
