Orton, Linda McKeown, Emmy and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Boy Scouts on the Trail" by George Durston is a fictional adventure tale written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on young boys who are intertwined in both the Boy Scout movement and the larger historical context of World War I. The main characters include Frank Barnes, an American boy of French descent, and his French friend Henri Martin, who together navigate the challenges of their impending war while striving to serve their respective countries. At the start of the book, the characters contemplate their holiday plans. Frank is left behind in school, with his uncle not arriving until later and no home to return to, leading Henri to invite him to stay with his family and join the French Boy Scouts. As the two friends discuss their shared commitment to France and the uncertainties of potential conflict, their headmaster hints at growing tensions in Europe. The opening chapters establish a sense of camaraderie between the boys while foreshadowing the imminent outbreak of war, setting the stage for their involvement in the events to come as they embark on a journey filled with bravery, loyalty, and the spirit of adventure.
