The Boy Scouts in the Great Flood

A small-town patrol of Boy Scouts confronts a sudden spring flood driven by heavy rain and mountain snowmelt. Away from home, the Wolf Patrol encounters rising water, a dangerously swaying bridge, and stranded residents, and they mobilize to warn, gather, and rescue those in peril. Applying scouting skills, quick thinking, and teamwork, the boys perform daring river rescues, shore up hazardous situations, and help provide shelter and first aid, gradually winning the trust of reluctant adults. The account highlights resourcefulness, civic responsibility, and the practical use of training during an emergency.
