Let's just hope that a homeless dude and an exchange of vows wasn't involved.

The cub scout training must have kept him alive.

AP: Emergency worker says missing boy found alive.

[fullchroma]

I am weeping.

Area where he was found, he would have had to find out how to cross a river. Very minor injuries if any according to Fox News.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

He's on a Life Flight helicopter on the way to the hospital.

If you're a kid and you're going to go missing, make sure you go missing in UT.

Thank God he's alive.

News conference coming shortly according to Fox News.

Praise God! I've been so upset by this!

[baseballmom]

Praise God, for prayers answered.

[NavyCanDo]

Seeing his tearful Mom last night on the news tore this big guy up. I am soooooooo happy they found him. Praise God!

My son is also named Brennan, so this story kinda felt close to home.

[stlnative]

BUMP!

Family catching a helicopter to hospital to meet their Cub Scout son who should become an Eagle Scout.

Who is he? I didn't know he was missing.

According to the emergency workers, some parts of the river are only ankle deep, while others are much deeper and faster-moving--owing to the large amounts of melting snow still coming downstream. He could have easily crossed an ankle-deep river.

The one thing I wonder about is this: if he had so much outdoor training with the Scouts and with his father's trips into the wilderness, why wouldn't he have followed one of the first rules taught to anyone going to spend long periods of time in the woods: If you get lost, stop moving. Stay put.

Regardless, it's a miracle that he was found alive. His parents' nightmare is finally over.

I know exactly how you feel. Give your Brennan an extra hug today.

Check Fox News - emergency workers are giving a little information from time to time.

News conference shortly.

Maybe you should ask one of the mods to change your title, adding Utah's missing Scout, or such.

[wideawake]

If you get lost, stop moving. Stay put.

Yup. (1) You're closer to where you were last seen.

(2) You expend less energy and therefore dehydrate/starve less quickly.

[kcvl]

He had to cross the river at some point. Waiting for official word from family.

AP: he was found just before noon says Boy Scout official.

[kcvl]

Would you please add Utah Boy Scout to the title. Thanks.
