PIERCEFIELD — Department of Environmental Conservation officers helped find a lost child July 31 at the Massaweppie Scout Camp.
DEC officers were alerted to the missing child at 12:55 p.m., officials said. The child from Brockport did not show up for a 10:45 a.m. activity at the Massaweppie Scout Camp and had last been seen by his scout leader at 10:30 a.m.
Six Rangers, five Environmental Conservation Police Officers (ECOs), the St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department, and camp staff searched through the afternoon and into the night.
Search crews checked all structures in the camp, nearby parked vehicles, Long Pond, and Massawepie Lake, DEC said.
At 8:07 p.m., a community member at a nearby hunting camp found the subject. Ranger Emerson and ECO Atwood drove the subject back to the camp where he was reunited with his mother.
Resources were clear at 9:30 p.m.
