Scouts in Action
He saved his mom after the SUV crash!
Travis Mason, 18, and his mother, Kym Mason, were driving during a rainstorm. Their SUV went off the slippery road and rolled to the bottom of a ravine, throwing Mrs. Mason from the vehicle.
In the overturned SUV, Travis heard his mother crying for help. She was badly hurt.
Listen as Travis describes what he did to treat his mother in a true story of Scouts in Action.

i just want to say that i always read scouts in action but this one just really got me right in the gut. you were very brave and helpfull. i am curently a first class scout and i am amazed at what you did. i know i would have helped her but i would have been so scared that somthing might have killed her. i also just want to say that if every one were like you i trulely beleive that this country would be a whole lot better. your mom is very lucky to have you as her son.
