Eagle Scout

Think of it as Relay for Life, with kayaks. This month, two Eagle Scouts are part of a team kayaking from Miami to Key West in support of the American Cancer Society. They call it Castaways Against Cancer.

When University of Missouri student Eric Prullage’s professor collapsed, the Eagle Scout put his first-aid practice to the test. His actions likely saved the professor’s life.

Retired Master Chief Petty Officer Britt K. Slabinski, an Eagle Scout, will receive the Medal of Honor this month for his heroic actions in Afghanistan.
