    They Saved Life

    Every year about 200 Scouts earn medals for sav19 lives. A lot of them performed water rescues. Probably you've read about some of those rescues 1 the Boys' Life feature called "Scouts in Action." Do you suppose all of those Scouts who saved people from drowning were great swimmers? No, not necessarily. Some of them may not have even been very good swimmers because- remember-you try to reach, throw, or row to a drowning person before you jump in and swim. Many medals have gone to guys who didn't swim at all but who were able to act when everybody else was panicking;-and tossed a rope or reached a pole to the person trouble.

    We’ve been practicing the "reach, throw, and row" water rescue methods. Those of you who have the Lifesaving merit badge also know the 'go" method.

    So all of us should be prepared to help somebody who is in trouble in the water. If you're not, practice some more. Then you'll be ready when you're needed.
