| Summary |
"The Banner Boy Scouts Snowbound; or, A Tour on Skates and Iceboats" by George A. Warren is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of Boy Scouts from the Stanhope Troop, particularly focusing on characters like Paul Morrison, Jack Stormways, and Bobolink, as they navigate winter challenges as well as camaraderie, bravery, and rescue missions. The book encapsulates themes of teamwork and courage as the scouts embark on thrilling escapades during the snowy holiday season. At the start of the narrative, the scouts are enjoying skating on the frozen Bushkill River, eagerly discussing their plans for their upcoming Christmas vacation. Tension rises when an old ice-house collapses, leading the scouts, especially Jack Stormways, into action as they rush to rescue those potentially trapped beneath the debris. Amid the excitement and sense of urgency, Warren introduces a vibrant backdrop of winter adventures that promises a mix of danger and fun, setting the tone for the boys’ impending journey full of challenges and heroic deeds.
