However, Frist was already en route to the show when it was cancelled, and consequently delivered his speech. He emphasized the Support our Scouts Bill recently passed in the Senate. A number of participants and staff members were treated for heat exhaustion and heat stroke while Frist was delivering his speech--at one point, his voice was competing with a helicopter airlifting one victim to a nearby hospital. It also began to rain heavily as Scouts returned to their campsites. | ||
