About This Book

A teenage Boy Scout spends a summer working on a rural farm, balancing chores with outings in the nearby woods, practicing marksmanship, photography, and scoutcraft. When he encounters a sudden gunshot and evidence of a fleeing figure, he faces tense moral choices and tests of first-aid, responsibility, and loyalty within his troop and patrols. Episodes follow his friendships, small-scale mysteries, patrol rivalries, community events, and a homecoming that underscores duty, practical resourcefulness, and growing maturity. Interwoven are scenes of outdoor life, scout training, and humorous camaraderie that shape his plans for future adventures out west.
