Local Scout Honored with Lifesaving and Meritorious Action Award

Cole Donnarumma, a scout in Saratoga Spring’s Cub Scout Pack 4016, was honored at the October 24th Twin Rivers Council Distinguished Citizen Award Dinner by receiving the Lifesaving and Meritorious Action award.  Cole was able to put recently-learned first aid skills to use when his older brother Liam started choking on his dinner.  Cole quickly leapt into action, performing the Heimlich maneuver on Liam, dislodging the food and saving his life.  Pictured is Cole with Den Leader John DeMarco.
