Cub Scouts Saves his Younger Brother — earns Heroism Award.

From Heidi Coghlan, About.com GuideOctober 26, 2007

Young Jonah Hale, aged 10, saved his 3 year old brother's life. Little Mica jumped into a pool even though he couldn't swim. "Jonah called for help, swam to his brother and held his head above water until help arrived."

Jonah will receive the Boy Scouts of America Heroism Award, an award granted to scouts who save someone from injury or death with minimal risk to themselves. This young man, still a Cub Scout, has certainly earned special recognition for his quick actions.
