The Boy Scouts for Uncle Sam

This is a novel book. The speaker, Rob Blake, leader of the Eagle Patrol of Boy Scouts, spoke with conviction. He was a 'rangy', sun-burned lad of about eighteen, clear-eyed, confident and wiry. His Boy Scout training, too, had made him resourceful beyond his years. Yes, and it's also good to know that we each have a good substantial sum of money in the bank as the result of the finding of the Dangerfield fortune, agreed Merritt Crawford, his second in command, a sunny-faced, good-natured looking youth a little younger than Rob and crowned with a tousled mass of wavy brown hair.
