Tornado destroyed Little Sioux Scout Camp in June of 2008 (WHO) |
Thursday, the Boy Scouts of America are pausing to remember scouts who died during a tornado that tore through a camp in western Iowa a year ago.
Last year, an EF-3 tornado destroyed the Little Sioux Scout Ranch killing four boys, including one Eagle Grove teen. Fifty others were injured.
The Boy Scouts Mid-America Council is asking all scout troops to fly their flags at half staff to honor the scouts killed and injured at the camp.
The camp has since been rebuilt. The new buildings can withstand winds of up to 250 miles per hour.
