JOHN w. SCOTT, SUSSEX
SCOUT, AWARDED MEDAL
(Continued from first Page)

According to Scoutmaster John
w. Hall of Troop 17S who investi-
gated the incident, Jack showed
unusual bravery at a great risk of
his own life. He was able to do so
entirely because of his Scout train
ing. A swimming rescue in the
ocean is one of the greatest tests
for nerve and endurance that could
be asked of anyone"
Witnesses stated that the girl
was unconscious when drawn up on
the beach, probably due to fright
and shock since no artificial reSpi-
ration was necessary.
The victim, Mary Lee Richardson
of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania,
in making out her report to the Ma
tional Headquarters of the Boy
Scouts, stated:
"On Thursday, August 8, 1945, at
Fenwick Island, Maryland. my sis

our depth. We had to be rescued. l

pletely played out. John Scott

He saved my life | could never
have made it ashore alone, | would
have surely drowned"
One of the witnesses, Orville j.
Calhoun, DagsbOrO, Delaware
stated: 1T was quite clear that any
other person couldn't have done
better nor have kept more clever
head at such time. He demon
strated skill and training by hi!
act"
The benefit of Scout training wa:
demonstrated by the fact that four
teen months before John Scott wa!
unable to swim a stroke. He wa
able to get in five months of swim
ming weather in two years; worked
