It's 1915, and the boys of Oakvale are about to learn that being a scout means more than tying knots and earning badges. When violence erupts at the cement plant and men lie broken in the streets, Scout Master Hugh Hardin's troop doesn't hesitate: they transform a vacant building into a field hospital, racing against time as the Red Cross ambulance speeds toward town. But as tension between workers and owners boils over, a darker mystery emerges. The factory owner's grandson has vanished, and suspicion falls on the strikers. Now the boys must navigate a dangerous world of adult conflict, proving that courage isn't the absence of fear, but action in spite of it. Nurse Jones becomes their unlikely ally in a desperate search that will test everything they've learned about compassion, duty, and what it truly means to serve. A period artifact that captures an era when children were expected to be useful citizens and adventure meant real stakes.
