COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) -- Three Colorado Boy Scouts killed in a head-on collision in Wyoming were set to become Eagle Scouts in August.
Sixteen-year-old Paul Kekich, 17-year-old Nick Naples, and 17-year-old Alex Ragan died in Saturday's crash near Thermopolis.
They were returning to Woodland Park, which has been hit by recent wildfires, from camp near Yellowstone National Park. .
Their leader, Richard Kleiner, also died along with a Florida toddler who was riding in a motor home hit by the scouts' Honda Element after Kleiner crossed the center line.
The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported that one of the scouts built a stair case on a trail in Waldo Canyon for his Eagle Scout project.
Kleiner was very involved in the community but had only been working with the scouts for a few months.
