Always be prepared... and have a good throwing arm 
Prepared and calm, young Scouts help rain-soaked hikers in B.C. park
A group of local scouts helped a trio of hikers in distress in Golden Ears Provincial Park on Saturday, Nov. 22, before they were rescued. Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue was called after three hikers lost the trail around the Evans Creek area in the afternoon as they came down the Golden Ears Peak trail. They stayed put, and called for help. Fortunately, there was a group of scouts hiking along West Canyon, and heard the distressed hikers who were stranded on the other side of Evans Creek – which was impassable because of heavy rains. With one of the hikers experiencing cramps, the scout leader made a 911 call. The scouts managed to throw some supplies – water, snacks and emergency blankets – over to the hikers, tying light items to rocks.
