At 11 yrs old he might have been in the Cub Scouts and new to the Boy Scouts. So he might have had some experience.

Years ago, a young Boy Scout disappeared in the San Bernardino (CA) mountains...somewhere around Big Bear I believe. The Scout troop was hiking on a mountain trail, w/shale fields above & below. They weren't following the 1st rule of hiking...hike as fast as your slowest hiker. This Scout was behind w/no leader behind him.

They rounded a bend and at some point someone realized this kid wasn't there anymore. He was never found, although his camera was on the trail. The last picture was one he'd taken of his own face.

Lots of theories as to what happened to him, but that's all they ever had, theories.

Prayers for the boy and his family.
