The excitement started on the way to Pathways when the troop stopped for dinner at Portillo's. A chunk of hot dog became lodged in the throat of one scout. Scoutmaster Byam, fresh out of CPR training, administered the Heimlich Maneuver. Moments later, the scout was able to finish the rest of his hot dog.
