The scouts who died.
Sam Thomsen, 13, of Omaha.
"He’s just a great kid," said Dr. Jim White, pastor of Southwest Church of Christ, where the Thomsen family are longtime members. "He was a typical teenager, always has a smile on his face. He was just a joy to be around."
Josh Fennen, 13, of Omaha. "His mind was always working," Alfrey said. "He was always finding something new to do, something to experiment with."
Aaron Eilerts, 14, of Eagle Grove, Iowa. "He was the kindest kid you could ever meet," said Dawn Sievertsen, principal of Robert Blue Middle School in Eagle Grove, Iowa. "He went above and beyond to be a contributing member of the community."
Ben Petrzilka, 14, of Omaha. "I can tell you so many wonderful things about this kid," Principal Kayleen Wallace said. "He always gave it his best effort ... It is a very devastating loss to the school."
