LAKEWOOD - A young woman has four Boy Scouts to thank for helping save her life.

Tuesday, those Lakewood High School students were honored for their efforts.


Lance Hoggatt, Justin Hart, Jonathan Hart and Andrew Cameron were awarded the National Heroism Lifesaving Award.


They were fishing at a wilderness lake in July 2008 when they came upon the woman, her dad and brother.


The woman had thought she was just tired, but the members of Troop 342 realized how serious her symptoms were and used tree branches a tarp and duct tape to help carry her as far as they could.


Then they watched her while her brother and father hiked out the rest of the way to get help.


Turns out, the woman had acute renal failure.


She has since recovered.
