Michael Auberry is a First Class Boy Scout, who is lost in the rugged woods of North Carolina. It is all over the news.A couple of things about this story really bother me.
Auberry stayed behind with an adult leader while the rest of the Troop went for a hike Saturday "because apparently he wanted to sleep in."
#1: No 2 deep leadership. Are you crazy?!
#2: Boy Scout Camp Outs and Hikes are not designed for Scouts to "sleep in". Either go, stay at home, or call your Mommy.
Michael has attention-deficit disorder and takes Ritalin. I don't why he wondered off without a buddy, but some adults made some bad decisions, regardless. I hope and pray that they find this kid. It is bad press for the B.S.A., and we must learn from these mistakes and ensure that they don't happen again.
EVER!
Our prayers were answered! Michael was found today around 11:00 am. Thirsty, but o.k.
