I was looking for something else on pennlive.com and I found this in my local news. It's a real shame.

I think I went there as a cub scout when I was a wee one.

A 9-year-old boy was killed at Hidden Valley Boy Scout Camp when a 13-foot high totem pole fell on top of him yesterday, authorities said.

Tyler O. Shope of Shermans Dale, Perry County, was pronounced dead of head and chest injuries about a half-hour after the 3:15 p.m. accident, Perry County Coroner Michael Shalonis said.

State police said Shope, a Cub Scout, was playing at the base of the totem pole on the first day of Boy Scout camp when it fell on him. His parents were standing nearby.

The totem pole was next to the camp's health lodge, Scouting officials said. Shope was waiting his turn to have his health records reviewed so he could join the camp.

Scouting officials said they believe the totem pole had been carved somewhere else in the camp and then set up by the health lodge more than eight years ago.

Shalonis said the boy's father helped lift the pole off of the boy.
