JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. The Boy Scouts of America is honoring a Valley Middle School student for his heroic actions that may have saved a girl s life last year.
It all happened in June while 13-year-old Jake Friebel was on a family trip at Johnson s Shut-ins. Jake, a Boy Scout with Troop 535, was inspired by his grandfather to become a scout, first joining Cub Scouts and then crossing over into Boy Scouts in fifth grade.
