I was looking to see if I could find information on what was going on at the camp this week. It appears there was a Cub Scouts “Fun with Son” event scheduled for today and tomorrow (June 11th & 12th). So my guess at these point is that we’re talking about young boys there with their fathers. I just can’t imagine what the mothers and other family members must be going through right now...
From what I am reading it was a leadership meeting...boys between 13-18. Only mentioned a ‘few’ grown-ups.
A Boys Scout official says there were about 100 teenage scouts at the camp for leadership training.
I just went to the live link, and I must’ve gotten the wrong info, or maybe the Fun with Son event had been canceled? Because they are reporting it was teenagers there for a leadership training event? Sorry about that - didn’t mean to scare or confuse anyone by posting the wrong info.
From the live coverage link from SEMom:
