The Boy Scouts of Lakeville High

A patrol of high-school Boy Scouts balances schoolwork, athletics, and outdoor outings while learning leadership and teamwork. They campaign in student elections, manage the football and baseball squads, organize a peace picnic, and encounter practical emergencies and scrapes — including handcar runs, icy hills, a fire alarm, and a missing team — that require resourcefulness and courage. Rivalry and good-natured pranks complicate matters, but cooperation, quick thinking, and scout skills ultimately shape the group’s friendships and sense of responsibility.
