The six Boy Scouts and two Troop leaders that were stranded in a forest in Arkansas have been found. Smoke from a fire was spotted by helicopter.
No one had heard from the troop since Thursday. They were camping in the Albert Pike Recreational Area in the Ouachita Forest near Langley, Arkansas. The troop is still in the forest due to high water levels in the Missouri River.
The boys are members of Troop 162 from St. Edmunds Catholic Church in Lafayette. The troop was reported missing Sunday when they did not return home. The troop's van was found last night where it was parked. Family members traveled to Arkansas. Authorities scaled back search efforts after nightfall Monday. Arkansas state police and the national guard conducted the helicopter search this morning.
