About This Book

A band of young Woodcraft enthusiasts return from summer camp and adapt their outdoor traditions to urban life, staging indoor councils, demonstrating fire-making, and inviting new members. Chapters alternate practical guidance — camping skills, weekend and seasonal outings, indoor crafts and winter projects — with imaginative material such as legends, ceremonies, and holiday councils. Episodic adventures include searches for lost campers and short excursions, while recurring sections offer games, camp sports, leadership practices, and plans for varied camps, producing a handbook-like blend of group camaraderie, instruction, and light fiction.
