Boy Scouts in Glacier Park / The Adventures of Two Young Easterners in the Heart of the High Rockies

Two young Eastern Scouts travel to a high mountain national park for summer camping and mountaineering, undertaking authentic hikes, glacier crossings, and tent life. Their adventures include wildlife encounters, crevasse falls, snow avalanches, technical climbs with an alpine rope, winter preparations, and long snow marches that require endurance and resourcefulness. Along the way they learn campcraft, leadership, first aid, and mountain technique, take part in a Native pow-wow, help protect deer yards, and perform rescues that test their skills. The account stresses outdoor education, self-reliance, conservation-minded stewardship, and the restoration of one boy’s health before they return home.
