Troop of Boy Scouts struck by lightning

The scouts were struck by the lightening while trying to take shelter from a thunderstorm.

The 23 scouts and three adults were taken to the hospital to be treated for burns.

Some burns were minor, but a few of the scouts received serious burns to the chest.

None of the injuries are life threatening, but six of the scouts remain in the hospital for cardiac monitoring since they were burned on the chest.

Firefighters were impressed with the scouts throughout the situation because they remained so calm.

The troop was at Griswold Scout Reservation in New Hampshire last night when the lightening hit either a canopy or the ground.
