Running Toward Danger: Real Life Scouting Action Stories of Heroism, Valor & Guts

Michael Malone pens Running Toward Danger in attempt to illustrate the dedication, honor and nobility exhibited by those who receive the Honor Medal of Lifesaving- the least-known, least-presented award given by the Boy Scouts of America.

It is one of the least-known and least-presented major awards offered by the Boy Scouts of America. But similar to the Eagle Scout medal, it also is highly celebrated--perhaps more. It is the Honor Medal for Lifesaving. In over a hundred past years, a little more than a thousand of these highest medals have been awarded to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, Venturers, Varsity Scouts, and adult volunteers. And every one of those rescues is an unforgettable story.

Featuring a remarkably unique and cutting-edge layout with original Marvel-style imagery, Running Toward Danger is the first book that tells the extraordinary saga of Scouting's Honor Medal recipients and how the award itself transformed American life. Including more than 150 accounts of the most remarkable and hair-raising Honor Medal rescues of the last century, this book celebrates the courage, resourcefulness, and compassion of our nation's youth.

You will never forget these remarkable stories of young people who, when met with the ultimate challenge, did not hesitate to run toward danger to help others.
