There are unconfirmed reports that 11-year-old Brennan Hawkins has been found alive.

Volunteers have been called back to the command post. Unconfirmed reports say that Brennan was found near Lily Lake, about 3 miles from the East Fork of the Bear River Boy Scout Camp Area.

There has been a lot of commotion near the command post in the last few minutes. Several Sheriffs vehicles have been seen going down a nearby road, and a Summit County Ambulance was dispatched.

The family has been taken to an area, and volunteers have been returning to the base camp. Volunteers have been seen hugging. A medical helicopter has been seen hovering over the area.<

A horseback rider told KSL Reporter Amanda Butterfield that Brennan had been found. This report has not been confirmed with the Summit County Sherrifs Dept.

Was that the T'Ville troop that got tossed out of the council, or the St. Mary's(forest fire) troop? I was in troop 176- much of the same, yet still focused enough to get my Eagle.

I am surprised that most of you wouldn't want your kids involved in scouts. Utah is a bit different than Connecticut, but scouts is what you make it. As a father, I will want my son involved. I, in turn, will be involved. That is the only way you can be sure of what is being taught.

In the end, it will depend on how many of his friends are involved. 5 of my good friends are Eagle scouts. I guess I was lucky. We didn't see it as a geeky thing to do. I know it isn't like that everywhere. I was just happy to find a group of people who wanted to camp once a month, and learn some really cool shit. The leadership skills I learned at 13, I use today. I still put the fact that I was an Eagle Scout on my resume. It has given me an edge for jobs several times.

I will agree that the BSA has made some bad descisions lately. Their stance on homosexuals just pisses me off. Unfortunately this stance, and the lack of fathers willing to volunteer, will lead to the end of scouts as I knew it. That is a big reason for their "religious right" label they wear today.

Your sons are lucky. You all love the outdoors, camping, kayaking, skiing, etc. They will all grow up appreciating these things too. I had to get this through scouts.
