(An earlier version of this story incorrectly implied the missing Boy Scout went out on a hike with his troop. He stayed behind at the camp with an adult leader.)

I hope this kid is OK. Last I heard, they cleared the adult of any wrong-doing, but you know how these things tend to end up.

Prayers up. :)

While viewing the coverage of the lost Scout, Michael Auberry, I was wondering if supplies including radios, food, warm clothing, etc., could be dropped by air at Strategic area's. They could drop devices with loud signals attracting the 12 year old to it.
The boy could possibly have some reasons for hiding or afraid of being humiliated.
I have not seen any coverage of air drops, but hope it is a good idea that maybe you can inquire about.
