"The health and safety of scouts is of great concern to the Boy Scouts of America. The Blue Ridge Council maintains strong procedures and policies to ensure a safe environment for scouts, volunteers and staff. Our most immediate concern is for the well-being all those affected by this tragic incident. Our entire Scouting family is saddened and our hope is that these young men will have quick and full recoveries. Our prayers and thoughts are with the scouts and families during this time."
