A Girl Scout was honored at Tuesday's Santa Ana City Council meeting for her brave actions in helping save a 15-year-old boy from drowning.

Ivy Nguyen was at a pool party when she noticed a boy, Brandon, was not coming back to the surface during a swim.

She called for help and together with others they pulled Brandon out of the water. Ivy then used her first aid training skills she learned as a Girl Scout to do chest compressions.

That helped Brandon regain consciousness.

Ivy was awarded a Girl Scouts' Medal of Honor for her efforts. She was also presented with a certificate of recognition for her act of heroism.
