Boy Scout Found Alive
20 Mar 2007
Boy Scout, Michael Auberry, who has been missing since Saturday was found alive today. He had wandered off from a camping trip in the North Carolina mountains. His has been checked into the hospital and is in condition is good.
The South Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association had rescue dogs circling the area. It was one of their rescue dogs who found the boy. The rescue team saw Auberry across the stream. They checked out his condition. Despite dehydration, he was in good spirits and was hungry. They then radioed to the control center that they had found the boy alive. Cheers and hugs burst through the scene.
Auberry had had some wilderness training, which may have aided him. He was wearing two jackets which helped to keep him warm during the ordeal.
