Eight-year-old Olivia Heid of Middletown, New Jersey, and her four-year-old brother, RJ were sledding on Thursday at a country club when their sled flew over a ridge and into an icy pond.

That is when a group of boys nearby jumped into action. "I picked up RJ first ... the boys jumped in. I just tried to get them out of the water as quickly as possible," said Kieran Foley, one of the rescuers.

The teenagers said their Boy Scout training prepared them well.

"The boys jumped in ... and they all formed a chain, and they handed them out as quickly as possible," said Heid's mother, Stephanie Irlbeck.
