If you missed the world news yesterday, one of the most unbelievable Scouting stories surfaced. It seems that a 15 year old Scout from the Maldives, decked out in uniform and neckerchief, stopped an assassination attempt on the local president.The unnamed Scout wrestled this guy to the ground and grabbed the blade! The youth's hand was cut without serious injury and the culprit apprehended.
The Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India. The President, who was attacked is the "Chief Scout of the Maldives". The highest award a Scout can earn is the President's Scout.
WOW!
