According to Fox News, today at noon, the missing Utah Cub Scout, Brennan Hawkins, has been found alive and with "no major injuries", in the Lily Lake area, some distance from the scout camp.
Update 13:00 PDT
11 year-old Brennan Hawkins was found dehydrated, a little weak and very hungry, but in remarkably good shape, according to Summit Co. Utah Sheriff Dave Edmunds. The young Cub Scout was found by a volunteer on an ATV, near a trail and had seen horses previously, but was afraid to approach them.
When found, he drank a considerable amount of water and ate "all the food the searchers had on them". After saying he wanted to see his mom, he then settled down to play a video game on a searcher's cell phone. He was in good enough condition that a Medevac helicopter was not neccesary.
Sheriff Duncan stated that Brennan was also lucky in that the weather has been mild, dry, and with lows in the 50's, but that rain is expected tonight.
He is now with his family at a Salt Lake City hospital.
Thank God!
