About This Book

A troop of Boy Scouts at a mountain camp follows puzzling tracks and strange marks that draw them into the surrounding wilderness. Two resourceful youths, aided by friends including a keen tracker and an observant companion, combine scouting skills—tracking, signaling, and endurance—to decipher clues, face hazards on rocky ledges, and execute a daring climb and rescue. Episodes alternate camp life, scouting lore, and moments of clever detection, culminating in the unraveling of the central mystery and a demonstration of teamwork, courage, and practical ability.
