About This Book

A troop of Boy Scouts in a small town responds to hazards and civic neglect by organizing safety and cleanup campaigns, applying scouting skills such as woodcraft and lifesaving. Under patrol leadership they press for traffic and sanitation improvements, stage a major community clean-up, and enlist neighbors in the effort. Investigation of suspicious behavior by one youth leads to a revealing discovery that enables the scouts to secure the town, enforce safeguards, and bring their home-protection campaign to a successful close.
