A 12-year-old Cherokee County boy has been honored by Scouting America for saving his grandmother’s life after she almost drowned.
Mason Pulliam, a Tenderfoot Scout in Troop 241 in Canton, was honored with a Medal of Heroism Nov. 11. He received this honor for saving his grandmother, Connie Pulliam, from drowning last year.
