Two 11-year-old boys who were lost after going tubing in Washington Township were found early Saturday morning.

The two Boy Scouts were found at 4:30 a.m. near the intersection of Route 563 in Burlington County.  They were walking along a road, heard the sirens from the people looking for them and went toward the sound, investigators told NBCPhiladelphia.

The boys had gone tubing at Evans Bridge Canoe Landing Friday at approximately 6 p.m. when they disappeared. Two adults went in after them two hours later, but were not able to find them, according to investigators in Washington Township.

The two boys and both adults are doing OK, officials said.
