Nolan Grant Henderson, a 16-year-old Corvallis Boy Scout, is dead and another member of his troop injured after a fall from a steep embankment during a troop camping trip in Klamath County, according to multiple news reports.

The boy's parents authorized the Klamath County Sheriff's Department to release his name, according to a report from News Channel 21.

According to a press release posted by Klamath Falls News, the boy fell from an embankment overlooking Middle Rosary Lake, near Willamette Pass Ski Area and Odell Lake.

Officials think the teen was climbing with a friend when a "rock handhold gave way." The friend attempted to help but was injured.

The friend was able to walk out of the woods with other troop members.

A search and rescue team found the body of the boy but was unable to remove him Saturday night because of insufficient light and the dangerous terrain.

Sunday morning, 20 search and rescue team members and volunteers, including technical rope experts, worked to bring the boy's body out of the wilderness, according to the release.

"Our Scouting family is going through a painful time." Scott Impecoven, Scout Executive and CEO of Boy Scouts of America Oregon Trail Council said in a statement Monday.

"We are sad to confirm the death of one of our youth members following a hiking-related incident," he continued. "We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the victim's family, and we will support them in any way that we can. Please join us in keeping all those affected in your thoughts and prayers."

The Klamath County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to request for comment.
