## Resource

A heartbreaking tragedy struck Michigan this week when an 11-year-old Boy Scout from Illinois died after a tree fell on him while he was hiking at the Owasippe Scout Reservation. Emergency crews responded quickly, but the injuries were fatal. Scouting America has offered heartfelt condolences to the family and the Scouting community, while authorities investigate the incident to determine what caused the tree to fall. This devastating loss serves as a sobering reminder of nature’s unpredictability — even in safe, supervised environments.
