Chicago needs more Scouts


Recommended Posts

During a shooting in Chicago, Scout Lawrence Sellers was shot in the leg as his shielded his girlfriend. Another friend was killed. "Doing the right thing, you shouldn't get an award for it, but I am honored to receive it, of course, I just feel like it's just the right thing," Sellers said.

 

He was awarded the Honor Medal from the BSA.

Nice article.. But a shame Chicago is so well known for these gun shootings.. It seems like it is a scary place to walk down the street, and the park shooting seem so popular, it is the last place to go to.. It's a shame..

 

Wish the story was more detailed about the friend who was killed and if they caught or how the search is going for the people responsible..

The homicide was widely reported as the young victim Hadiya Pendleton had performed at Obama's inauguration. Two months later, two suspects were arrested.
