The scouts, trained in first aid, quickly responded in the aftermath of the accident.
Armstrong said the scouts, who would’ve all earned their first aid badges and received other related skills training, such as emergency preparedness, leaped into action after the collision occurred.The Boy Scouts of America
Following the incident, the troops and their leaders were transported by bus to Columbia, Missouri, where they stayed in hotels overnight. One of the scouts had to receive medical treatment Monday but has since been released, according to Armstrong.“All the youth have been cleared from the medical facilities so they're in relatively decent shape,” he said.
The Boy Scouts of America said it is working with Amtrak to arrange transportation home for the scouts and leaders and hope to get them all back to Wisconsin by late Tuesday night or Wednesday. The death toll in the Missouri train derailment has risen to four and at least 150 were injured. It’s the second incident impacting Amtrak this week, after anotherin Brentwood, California, Sunday. Three people died and two others were injured in the California accident.
