[betsyross1776]

Boy I hope for the first time NBC is right. Alright! Right on! How about that , great day , if true. Sorry no faith in NBC.

[Kenton]

"Be prepared".... apparently he was. Thanks God.

[Red Badger]

Always be prepared.............he just wanted to commune with nature.............

[WV Mountain Mama]

Whoa, total shock...

[afnamvet]

FNC reporting same....

[mtbopfuyn]

Just tuned into FNC. They're saying nothing is confirmed, but there's apparently radio messages from "out in the woods" that they've found him. Apparently they'll be "walking him out" momentarily. Hope he's ok. I had a bad feeling he'd been taken by another sicko.

[Red Badger]

I was afraid a bear had gotten him.........

[jws3sticks]

It works!

[betsyross1776]

Isn't GOD great! Super dupper in my book! THANK YOU LORD! AWESOME GOD IS AWESOME!

[tiredoflaundry]

[MJemison]

Hope he's ok. I had a bad feeling he'd been taken by another sicko.

Be Prepared: The Motto of the Boy Scouts of America

Excerpted from page 54, Boy Scout Handbook, 11th ed,
(#33105), copyright 1998 by BSA, ISBN 0-8395-3105-2

Be Prepared.

That's the motto of the Boy Scouts.

"Be prepared for what?" someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting,

"Why, for any old thing." said Baden-Powell.

The training you receive in your troop will help you live up to the Scout motto. When someone has an accident, you are prepared because of your first aid instruction. Because of lifesaving practice, you might be able to save a nonswimmer who has fallen into deep water.

But Baden-Powell wasn't thinking just of being ready for emergencies. His idea was that all Scouts should prepare themselves to become productive citizens and to give happiness to other people. He wanted each Scout to be ready in mind and body for any struggles, and to meet with a strong heart whatever challenges might lie ahead.

Be prepared for life - to live happily and without regret, knowing that you have done your best. That's what the Scout motto means.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Thank God!

[Eepsy]

This is apparently info overheard on radio traffic. Dispatcher said he was found alive. They've called for an ambulance.

[John D]

It works!

I agree but you will never get the dimwits to agree.

[Pharmboy]

Best news of the day! I guess he is a pretty good Scout...

[bmwcyle]

[paltz]

Yeah...wait till mom and dad see the bill from the NC gov't for his nature walk

[Mr. Lucky]

Great find; thanks for reminding us.

[Vinnie]

Thank God.

I was having really bad vibes about this.

[Eepsy]

Confirmed by Park Rangers, no report on condition, but walking on his own power!!!

[betsyross1776]

Thank the Lord he is ok. See God is there when you need him. Great news!

[Sue Perkick]

So was I. It's a miracle.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews:

Park Rangers confirm that the boy has been found.

Ambulance dispatched from area fire station on route to the area.

[xsrdx]

I had a bad feeling he'd been taken by another sicko.

Didn't seem likely under circumstances, too remote and many other scouts & leaders in area. Not typical pedophile terrain.

Having said that, anything is possible - very glad to hear family is back together.

[Tanniker Smith]

Way to go, young man! Way to go!

I haven't read anything yet about the situation. I only heard a news brief that he was still missing, but was dressed warmly enough for the weather. I don't even know how old the boy is or what his rank was.

[AppyPappy]

no report on condition, but walking on his own power!!!

I hope he is alive (TIC). Our Scout meeting last night had a change of focus because of this.

[KsSunflower]

Well...let's see of Coach Roy at NC can get this youngster some tickets to the Sweet 16. He seems quite a basketball fan and NC seems to be his team.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews

Boy is walking out under his own power.

[So, he seems unhurt.]

[Liberty Valance]

Prayers answered.

[Fairview]

I was afraid he'd been taken by a mountain lion. That has happened, even here in the East. How could that little child survive two nights in the woods? God is wonderful and the boy's BSA training must have been great. His Scoutmaster must have done a good job with him.

Imagine, only imagine what his parents have been through and how great their joy and thanks must be now. Sometimes God likes us to see that He can still be with us and work miracles.

[jiggyboy]

8:25 CA time, CNN Headline News is still saying they haven't found him but regular CNN says they did. Now you know where not to go for breaking news.

[El Gran Salseron]

He is 12. I read his rank the other day but don't remember. It wasn't pueblo or "rookie." He had been in the Boy Scouts for a year.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Awesome news.

[proud American in Canada]

Thank goodness!

BREAKING NEWS: Missing Boy Scout Found Alive In N.C. Mountains

POSTED: 9:15 am EDT March 20, 2007

UPDATED: 11:10 am EDT March 20, 2007

McGRADY, N.C. -- A 12-year-old Boy Scout missing since early Saturday has been found alive and OK in the North Carolina Mountains. Eyewitness News is trying to find out where he was located; Chopper 9 is on the way.

[Tanniker Smith]

12 and Scout First Class

Thanks. I just checked out the story on Fox News. Simply amazing.

[itsinthebag]

Thank God for this good news. But I heard an odd thing this morning on the radio news that the youngster supposedly is ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and because of this, got restless and wandered away from the group. Anyone else hear this too?

[RDTF]

CNN breaking news email at 1124:

-- Radio traffic from the scene indicates a 12-year-old Boy Scout missing since
Saturday in the North Carolina forest has been found alive, National Park
Service spokeswoman Tina White said.

[estrogen]

I was worried that the poor boy had been accosted by the scout leader ( what a crazy world that I would even think that) I am so thankful he is allright. I have a 12 yr. old grandson and can't help but think how scared he would be.

Thank You Lord

[Trust but Verify]

I'm praying this information is accurate. Does anyone remember the Sago mine debacle?

[Joe 6-pack]

He must have found Eric Rudolph's hidden stash of MRE's and thermal blankets....
