Second row (from left): Alexander Frank, Jake Wenzara, and Colt Daily.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Frank, Jake Wenzara and Colt Daily were taking part in the annual Trash Bash on March 22 in Sunset Park. They were helping clean up the bank of the Missouri River when they came upon a man who was stuck in the mud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was in very deep,\u201d recalled Daily, 13.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI thought, \u2018we have to help him,\u2019\u201d said Frank, 11. \u201cHe was trying to dig himself out but he seemed to be getting deeper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boys are students in the Hazelwood School District. Wenzara and Daily are seventh graders at Hazelwood Northwest Middle School, and Frank is a fifth grader at Russell Elementary. They belong to Boy Scout Troop 829 which is led by John Frank, Alexander\u2019s father.<\/p>\n<p>To help the man in the mud, the boys retrieved a piece of fence they had come across earlier while picking up trash. They thought it would be helpful to the rescuers to step on the fence to keep them from sinking while attempting to get the man out of the mud. Frank said he also gathered logs to help with the rescue attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The boys told some adults who were nearby and they eventually got the man out of the mud. \u201cHe said thank you and left,\u201d Wenzara said.<\/p>\n<p>The scouts say they learned a very important lesson that day.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBe prepared and use what\u2019s around you to solve problems,\u201d Frank said.<\/p>\n<p>The boys have been recognized by their principals and will be honored at an upcoming Hazelwood School District Board of Education meeting. The Florissant Police Department also plan to recognize the scouts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Three Boy Scouts are recognized by their principals for assisting with the rescue of a man stuck in the mud.
