the boy asked to play a video game on one rescuer's cell phone, the sheriff said

Unreal.

Brennan had no food or water during those four days in the wilderness. It's amazing that he was even found in an unbelievably good and healthy condition even with all of the wild animals crawling about the area.

Just thought you would all like to know how the oh so intelligent progressive people at DU are reacting to this story. Warning: Have your blood pressure medication close at hand

As much as all are happy that the boy was found safe and sound, what is absent is the leadership failure which allowed this to happen in the first place. First there was no 'buddy' system in place - you don't go anywhere, even to the toilet, without your buddy. Secondly, there should have been somewhere in the boy's scouting experience the basic actions to take when lost - stay put. Thirdly, camp staff lost control of the boys and had no means to account for them as they transited from one point to another. I know this may make some of you upset, however, leaders of boys everywhere need to see that these things happen and more importantly, how to prevent it.
