A 6 year old named Micheal james Stokes from Leavittsberg, Ohio was swimming with a group of cub scouts and then as the group was getting ready to leave they noticed that james was missing and found him drowning in the pool. Originally the boy was still breathing but unfortunately stopped breathing once he was at the surface. This incident was purely accidently and i hope the media does not take advantage of this story and turn it against the Boy Scouts like they usually do.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to his family.
