Two Boy Scout troops from Appleton were riding on the Amtrak train that derailed in rural Missouri Monday.
Three people were killed and at least 50 were injured when the train hit a dump truck at an uncontrolled railroad crossing.
Boy Scouts of American spokesperson Scott Armstrong says 16 youths and eight adults from Wisconsin were returning home from a week-long backpacking trip at Philmont wilderness camp in New Mexico.
The scouts were able to help victims and provide aid to people who needed it.
One Appleton scout reportedly provided comfort to the dump truck driver until the driver died.
