Poor kid

How bad do you suppose it has to suck to be the boy scout who got way, way lost and was found 5 miles from camp? We'll forget about him oh, 2-3 headlines from now, but I remember being 11, and I'm going to assume that his troup and school mates won't let him live this one down for a looooong time.

I heard that one reason why it took them so long to find him was that the Scouts had taught him "never talk to strangers" so he hid whenever he saw someone on horseback or an ATV go past. Trying to find a source for that one before I post it.
