“I think the young man sitting here has changed history,” Senator Jim Dabakis said. “That giant institution, the Boy Scouts of America, yielded to Logan Blythe and now there is a separate track for all Boy Scouts of America who are mentally challenged because of what this young man did.”

Sen. Jim Dabakis on Wednesday honored a Payson teenager from the Senate floor who he said he believes has changed history.

Logan Blythe, 15, was involved in a lawsuit that claimed he was not accepted into a Boy Scouts of America Alternative Eagle Scout Program due to his mental disability.
