Scouts in Action - Maldives Edition

Do you know Mohamed Jaisham Ibrahim? Yeah, me neither, but that's him in the photo. He's a hero today after putting himself in the way of an assassination attempt on the president of the Maldives. He is also a 15-year old Boy Scout that now has a knife injury to his hand for a badge of bravery. His quick actions and being in the opportune location make for a great story and promotion of scouting. I expect we'll be hearing a bit more about the details over the next few days.

Those guys in the picture are just some Maldives Boy Scouts in uniform - don't mess with them!

Take a look at all the stories showing up in Google News for details.
