About This Book

A scout leader and his Silver Fox patrol, including the irrepressible Pee-wee, set out on a pledged bee-line hike strictly due west and encounter a chain of comic misadventures. The episodic narrative moves from domestic negotiations and rooftop maneuvers to run-ins with alleged bandits, a haunted ferris-wheel episode, camp pranks, and townside encounters that require quick thinking and teamwork. Each episode emphasizes resourcefulness, loyalty, and the energetic mischief of youth, blending slapstick situations with mild moral lessons about courage, perseverance, and the do-a-good-turn spirit of scouting.
