About This Book

A troop of Camp Fire Girls embark on an open-road journey combining outdoor adventure, service projects, and practical tasks; episodes and letters recount their daily efforts, minor mysteries, and the steady development of self-reliance, cooperation, and moral purpose. The narrator's letters home convey longing for wider experience, the tedium and rewards of routine responsibilities, and the group's lively camaraderie. Scenes alternate between humorous incidents, domestic and rural detail, and didactic moments that emphasize the movement's ideal of finding dignity in work while strengthening friendships and community ties.
