About This Book

The narrative follows a troop of Camp Fire girls as they travel along coastal missions, camp on beaches and cliffs, and engage in community duties and organized camp activities near a cantonment. Through sketching, dances, theatrical rehearsals and service projects they experience personal growth, loyalty, youthful sacrifice and emerging affections. One girl pursues art while a companion seeks warmth and rest; together the group devises plans, answers summonses, and confronts tests of courage and human psychology as they prepare for practical responsibilities and future endeavors.
