Saga of the lost boy scout

Another summer, another Utah boy scout lost. This one has a happy ending.

Brennan Hawkins was found after four days wandering in the high Uintah Mountains, after walking away from a boy scout camp at the east fork of the Bear River.

He was found thanks to a massive volunteer search party, and despite the fact that Brennan was hiding from them because he thought they were strangers.

Here's the rub: Brennan is just 11 years old and he was attending a camp for Varsity Scouts (14 year olds). That is against policy for boy scout troops sponsored by the LDS Church.

Before wandering away, Brennan was last seen at the camp's climbing wall. I've been to this camp -- I wouldn't let my 11 year old climb it!

Deseret Morning News columnist Lee Benson said it best: The parents need to be put in time out.
