 One-brainer Eagle Scout received a life-saving medal of honor over the weekend. For this week's Community Spotlight, our Sarah Winkleman shares with us about the life-saving rescue. Less than one percent of the Boy Scouts in scouting ever use their scouting skills to either save their own life or another life, and in this case, Ben has done that. On June 7th, 2017, Ben Succup was working with co-worker Dan Lamby when they noticed something wrong at a busy intersection in Maple Grove. We thought it was a person just trying to red light, but we figured out that something wasn't right, how to do what we had to do. Inside of that car was Caitlin, who was having a seizure. The EMTs had told me that if neither of them were there, I would most likely have died because my car was going through a red light when it happened and it was swerving everywhere and I would have most likely crashed into something and been severely injured. Dan crawled through the open window to stop the car while Ben stopped oncoming traffic. After that, Ben was able to start first aid and made sure she was breathing until paramedics arrived. Ben was really sweet because I was wearing a dress that day and so he took a blanket from his car and he covered me up and he lay like just waited with me and everything. And when you ask Ben about that day, he says he didn't even hesitate to jump into action to save a complete stranger. This is kind of cool that I can use my scouting ability to save someone that I've been learning but then scare at the same time because someone else is in hurt and we've got to help someone. But it's a gesture Caitlin's parents are forever grateful for. We're just so thankful. Very thankful. Very appreciative. Very blessed. And Caitlin, who was finally able to meet one of the men who saved her life. It takes a lot of strength to do what they did and I'm very grateful for that. By using his knowledge as an Eagle Scout. I'm extremely humbled and excited because I've been a leader for 48 years and this is my first one. For this week's Community Spotlight, in Brainerd, Sarah Winkelman, Lakeland News.
