RYE, Colo. (AP) - One child and one adult from Texas at a Colorado Boy Scout camp have swine flu.

The Pueblo County health department today said that Colorado testing confirmed the scout and the adult troop leader, both from Plano, had the H1N1 strain. Neither case is serious.

They're among a total of 29 people separated from the rest of campers and staffers after showing flu-like symptoms earlier this week.

They were the only two to have samples tested by the state. Colrado health department spokeswoman Sarah Bruestle said it's likely that the 27 others also have swine flu.

Those quarantined were from either Plano or Houston.

All campers are set to return home as originally planned tomorrow.

The camp will be sanitized before a new group of campers arrives on Sunday. Incoming campers will get a health screening.
