The victims were identified as Michael J. Shibe, 49, Mike Lacroix, 42, and Ronald H. Bitzer, 58, all of Anchorage, Alaska; and Scott Edward Powell, 57, of Perrysville, Ohio. Shibe had two sons at the Jamboree and Lacroix had one.

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative sent workers to the jamboree site to make sure it was safe, spokesman Brian Wolfe said. He said he was unaware of any problems with power lines before the deaths.

One scout, Marty Williamson, 13, of Sparta, Wisconsin, said Tuesday that he and his fellow scouts felt safe and "everyone is taking it pretty well."

On March 13, an Anchorage man helping to chaperone a winter camping trip died when a tree blew down and fell on him. Matthew Johnson, 37, was killed as he slept in his tent on the Devil's Pass Trail in Chugach National Forest near Cooper Landing. He was part of an outing that included four Scouts and three adults.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, a former Boy Scout who sponsored the Senate provision, said it is necessary to push back on a spate of lawsuits to limit Boy Scout activities on government property. The provision adopted Tuesday says Boy Scouts should be treated the same as other national youth organizations

On June 22, U.S. District Judge Blanche Manning ruled in the ACLU's favor, saying the Pentagon can't spend millions of dollars to sponsor Boy Scout events. She said in an earlier ruling that the government spent between $6 million and $8 million to host the Jamboree on a military base in 1997 and 2001.
