"Great Hike; or, The Pride of the Khaki Troop" by Captain Alan Douglas is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story revolves around a group of Boy Scouts, specifically focusing on the energetic Hickory Ridge troop as they embark on an ambitious hike intended to test their endurance and skills. The opening part introduces several key characters, including Elmer Chenowith, the young leader, and his friends, who joke and discuss the competitive spirit among various patrols as they prepare for the hike challenge. At the start of the story, the scene is set in an apple tree where a group of boys, all members of the Boy Scouts, is engaged in friendly banter while picking apples. They discuss their upcoming challenge of a long-distance hike, which sparks excitement and camaraderie among them. The boys share light-hearted observations about each other's potential in the hike, setting the stage for friendly rivalry and showcasing their unique personalities. The dynamic among the boys, along with their hopes for the forthcoming hike, hints at deeper themes of friendship, sportsmanship, and youthful adventure as the narrative progresses.
