Last month, scouts from Troop and Crew 368 came to the rescue of NBC journalist, Ann Curry.

The Boy Scouts oath states in part “to help other people at all times”, so it is not surprising to many when scouts from Troop and Crew 368 in New Jersey came to the rescue of NBC journalist, Ann Curry in April.

She had been hiking when a fall left her in pain and unable to walk. She was sitting on the side of the trail when the Boy Scouts, who had been taking part in a training hike through Harriman State Park in New York, met with her.

First, the troop didn’t recognize her as the Emmy-winning journalist that she is, but they saw a woman who needed help. They asked if she was all right to which Curry replied that she thought her ankle was broken.

Despite her predicament, she told the Boy Scouts to continue their hike. They ignored that request and administered aid. They thoroughly splinted up her leg, before using sticks and a tarp to create a makeshift stretcher.

The troop then carried Curry to her car where her family was waiting. Curry has since written a letter to the scouts, thanking them for their successful efforts.

In it, she wrote “I feel enormously lucky you came along at just the right moment, and were so willing to help a stranger in need. You are a credit to the Boy Scouts and to your families, and I want you to know I am deeply grateful for your kindness and skill.”
