According to fire
officials, the scouts were taking shelter underneath a canopy when
lightning either hit the nearby canopy or the ground around 8:30 p.m.
Six
of the scouts suffered burns to their chests. Fire officials said they
were taken to hospitals for cardiac monitoring as a precaution, and
their injuries were not life-threatening.
Those six scouts were taken to the Belmont Fire Station by pickup truck, while the rest were taken by bus.
All of the scouts had some level of burns -- from minor to serious -- from the lightning strike.
