CNN.com - Hundreds of Boy Scouts fall ill from heat - Jul 28, 2005: "A Boy Scout National Jamboree marred by the deaths of four people weathered another blow Wednesday in Virginia when about 300 Scouts and adults suffered symptoms resulting from the 100-degree afternoon heat, a spokesman for the organization said.
Thousands of Scouts had gathered in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, for the opening ceremonies, which were canceled because of 'heat-related health concerns' and the threat of severe thunderstorms."

Another wake up call.
