About This Book

A coastal adventure follows members of a Boy Scout troop and their young assistant scoutmaster as they take to the water for a summer cruise to a remote island. Camping ashore and exploring tidal flats, they encounter tampered moorings, suspicious night visitors, strange lights and footprints, treacherous mud and snags, and hidden boxes that prompt a mystery hunt. Through planning, signaling, and small-scale rescues the boys piece together clues, face peril, and recover the island's secret. The episodic tale emphasizes practical resourcefulness, comradeship, duty, and the hard lessons of outdoor scouting.
