I received an award of merit for life saving from Boy Scouts of America
I was at a scout camp in New Mexico, and we had just sat down to eat dinner when a fellow scout started choking. I having taken a CPR corse just two weeks prior knew exactly what to do. I preformed the Heimlich maneuver and was able to dislodge the obstruction. The incident was reported and I later received the Award of Merit form the Chief Counsel of the Evergreen District in Everett, WA.
