About This Book

A lively children's adventure centers on a resourceful young Boy Scout whose schemes to organize a patrol lead to island outings, run-ins with local roughs, and a series of camp-style exploits. Through boating trips, explorations of an Alligator Island, encounters with Keekie Joe and other boys, and improvised leadership moments, he stages rescues, competitive contests, and humorous mishaps. Episodes alternate between scoutcraft, comic misunderstandings, and earnest attempts at responsibility, culminating in reconciliations, restored order, and a return to school life.
