Scouts take their Oath seriously. Ann Curry was in good hands. I’m glad they were there to help her off that mountain.
I’ve recited this oath hundreds of times and taught it to many young scouts. I’m glad to see it put into action.
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Not really, I’ve assisted folks who self-rescued with a broken leg. Anything can be dangerous but a well-prepared hiker can take care of more than you’d imagine.
I fell in a parking lot in the city and for once in my life did not have my cell phone on me, and I was rescued by Boy Scouts. Actually, they were two Eagle Scouts. They carried me to my car. God bless 'em.
