The Capitol Area Council extends its thoughts and prayers to the families of those Scouts killed and injured in a tornado at Little Sioux Scout Ranch in Iowa Wednesday night.
In this tragedy, however, we see vivid examples of exemplary young men and volunteer leaders who took the motto to heart, and truly were "prepared" to deal with this horrible situation.
When you have a moment, please CLICK HERE to watch a 6 minute interview done this morning by NBC's Ann Curry (it may take a moment to load). Take note in particular to the answers given by the two Scouts between 2 and 4 minutes into the interview. Their bravery, their reactions and their answers are why we do what we do.
We expect to receive information in the coming hours on a central donation drive to benefit the victims of the tornado and their families.
