No details yet....
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.
Awesome news.
Thank goodness!
BREAKING NEWS: Missing Boy Scout Found Alive In N.C. Mountains
POSTED: 9:15 am EDT March 20, 2007UPDATED: 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.
Thanks. I just checked out the story on Fox News. Simply amazing.
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?
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.
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
I'm praying this information is accurate. Does anyone remember the Sago mine debacle?
He must have found Eric Rudolph's hidden stash of MRE's and thermal blankets....
Fox: Park Ranger confirms he's ok
Where is the typical pedophile terrain? Let one sicko find out there's little boys out in the wilderness and it's the perfect place. Thankfully, not today.
FNC says he's walking out on his own. It's a good day!
He's likely either just at "Scout" rank, or possibly tenderfoot... if he's only been in a year. At 12, he's been a scout for at most 1-2 years... If he's on the verge of becoming 13, he may have achieved another rank or two.
Boy Scouts start at age 11. Cub Scouts (WEBLOS) transition to Boy Scouts at age 11, in February. I just crossed over our WEBLOS last month to the local Boy Scout Troops at our Blue and Gold.
Yes. He takes Ritalin, but only for school. Was not on medication at camp.
Praise the Lord.

McGRADY, N.C. -- A missing 12-year-old Boy Scout has been found alive in the North Carolina mountains, a National Park ranger at the scene confirms.
The boy was found by rescue crews shortly after 11 a.m., said Tina White, National Park ranger. White said she learned the boy was found by radio, but did not know further details.
The incident commander, park ranger Micheal Bauer, told a CNN producer in the command center that the boy "walked out on his own."
This old lady has one in her library. Great resource.
Thanking God for this young man's survival and rescue.
My son just made Eagle a year ago. Joining the Scouts is the best thing that ever happened to him. He learned so much thanks to very good leaders. Glad to hear the great news!!
Thank God!
