BOWLING GREEN, Va. - Four adult Boy Scout leaders were killed Monday
afternoon in an electrical accident during the opening day of the

5 p.m. while the leaders were setting up camp.

One other leader and a contract worker were injured and were hospitalized in
stable condition, Shields said. No youth Scouts were seriously hurt, he
said. He did not say how many might have sustained minor injuries.

Shields did not have additional details about the accident, including the
victims' names.

Anyone heard anything from Mike?  I just heard there was some sort of
electrical accident at the Boy Scout Jamboree in Virginia and 4 scout
leaders were killed.  Hope he wasn't anywhere near the accident site.  If
anyone hears from him, please let us know.
