The Boy Scout Pathfinders; Or, Jack Danby's Best Adventure

Summer 1912. A troop of Boy Scouts leaves the noise and smoke of the city for the wilds of the Adirondacks, where the pine forests stretch endless and the only roads are the ones you make. Led by Jack Danby, these boys trade their school ties for trail moccasins and set out to become something more than city kids playing at adventure. But the wilderness has other lessons to teach. When their camp faces danger from both beast and man, when the lumber woods reveal their dark side and the mountains demand more than courage, the Scouts must prove that the badge on their sleeve means something. This is adventure stripped of sentimentality: cold nights, blistered hands, the crack of timber, and the unshakeable bond between boys who learn that the wild doesn't care about age. A vivid snapshot of an era when the Boy Scout movement was young and the American frontier still felt close enough to touch.
