A troop of Boy Scouts organizes and undertakes a long hike through rugged mountain country, detailing their months of preparation, saving, and route-planning. The narrative follows their daily progress over peaks, ridges, and ravines, mixing lighthearted camp incidents and rehearsed pageantry with serious challenges such as a nighttime misadventure, a storm crossing on a bridle path, steep descents and ascents, and the administration of first aid in difficult conditions. Episodes emphasize teamwork, practical outdoor skills, scenic description, and the physical and moral tests of an extended mountaineering trek for a youthful group.
