What began as an adventure on the Loxahatchee River on Saturday quickly turned into a rescue operation after a group of Florida Scouts got lost.

An Aviation and Marine Unit was dispatched to the river after the Cub Scouts became "lost" and "disoriented," just south of Trapper Johns, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.


An air unit located the group of Scouts in the river just east of I-95, the sheriff’s office said.

Marine units were in contact with the Scout leader by phone and intercepted the boat in an area of JD State Park.

Serious lack of being prepared by the cubmaster. I'm glad they made it out OK.

YEP, I wasn't there and don't know who was leading them. BUT, A RIVER?? You go upstream , or downstream, then reverse to go back. CHARLIE.

No regular old fashioned magnetic
compasses among a group of scouts?

Shame shame crying shame.
The head man should have had
exemplary compass skills at a
minimum,  and the kids should be
practicing and steadily improving

So did they get their badges for that exercise or did they just get participation trophies?

Most likely go with the flow awards.
Are there even Boy Scouts anymore,
or just the Gender Neutral Youth League?

After thinking on it some, I'm
starting to think that they would
say that using a compass and
a compass itself would be racist
and homophobic and generally
unfair since it would say that choosing
one direction of travel over another
would be horribly unfair to the
direction not taken, and would be
typical of white heterosexual male
capitalist behavior
