Lindon Scout a life saver
Daily Herald - Lindon Scout a life saver
Joel Drake was body surfing with a friend near Santa Cruz, Calif., in June when they saw a head pop up from the water.
“We saw a girl come up in distress,” said Joels mother, Sheron Drake. “Joel knew he was supposed to swim sideways in a rip tide. He swam faster than I have ever seen him swim.”
Joel ended up saving the girl, and for his heroism was recently awarded one of the Boy Scoutss highest honors: the National Honor Medal, a Lifesaving Award.
