Early Friday evening, Luke and other boys from Troop 208 from Helena were pushing logs into the river screwing around on the banks of a flood-swollen river when a log hit him accidentally or otherwise one of his buddies hit him with a log and pushed him off into the 50-degree water, park officials said.

Since that is an area where people kayak it would seem that throwing logs into the water was really criminal.

I am so sorry for this family's loss but was there no supervision?

That's exactly what I've been thinking all week. What were they doing "pushing logs into the river"?

I'm so sad for this boy and his family. Unfortunately, all these accidents in the last couple of weeks have involved violations of safety guidelines. None of them should have happened.

kind of like the other boy in Utah who was lost for so many days when the boys left his ... meaning they took off on him.. don't seem like a safe group of people to send kids off too. mean kids I would say

The boy in Idaho fell, when there were not support ropes, another LDS troop covered up child sexual assult for, gosh... 15 years and 26 (at least) kids assulted.
