Troop 217 from Raleigh NC is over due from a camping trip in Pisgah National Forest in Haywood County. They were due back yesterday and when they failed to show up in Raleigh concerned parents notified authorities. Haywood County Search and Rescue Teams have been combing the area since 9pm last evening. Additional teams plan to join the search this morning. Troop 217 has 8 boys ranging in age from 12 to 18 as well as 3 leaders. The hope is the distance of the hike was to long forcing them to spend and unplanned evening in the woods and that they’ll walk out this morning.
