About This Book

A troop of Boy Scouts mounts a midwinter outing that moves from an indoor meeting into an extended expedition over frozen rivers, lakes, and through timber. The episodes follow preparation and travel by skates and iceboats, campsite routines, and demonstrations of first aid and survival techniques as the boys face blizzards, thin ice, and encounters with wild animals. The scouts also confront lawless visitors and drifting vagrants, mounting rescues, setting traps, and making arrests through teamwork and quick thinking. Practical scoutcraft, leadership challenges, and the value of cooperation and discipline frame the narrative's sequence of adventures.
