Matthew White is one of my as he was awarded the Meritorious Action Award for saving his mother's life during the South Plains Councils’ Friends of Scouting luncheon, as the council celebrates its 100th anniversary.

"White performed CPR on his mother, Suzanne, when she suffered a heart attack in November 2024. Doctors told her that without his quick action, she would not have survived.

“My cardiologist told me had he not done it way he did it, with the amount of pressure he did it I would not be here,” Suzanne said.

White credits scouting with preparing him for the moment. He has been involved in the program since the age of five and says training courses in first aid and CPR gave him the confidence to set in.

“I wouldn’t of known what to do if I hadn’t of been that scouting. I’ve taken the first aid course, you have to renew it every two years,” White said.

South Plains Council Executive Nathan Baie said White’s award highlights the values of scouting.

“This is definitely a unique experience and a wonderful way to help us showcase our 100th anniversary,” Biae said.

The South Plains Council serves more than 500 families across 20 counties through Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Exploring."
