About This Book

A troop of scouts at summer camp forms a signal corps and practices visual and wireless telegraphy through patrol drills, contests, and instructor-led demonstrations. The narrative follows their daily training, patrol rivalries, and developing leadership as they face outdoor hazards and tests of skill, including a perilous field encounter, a camp fire, stalking exercises, a mountain hike, and a mock battle. Episodes highlight teamwork, practical instruction, resourcefulness, and the scouts applying signaling, first-aid, and campcraft during emergencies and adventures.
