| Summary |
"The Boy Scouts for Uncle Sam" by Lieut. Howard Payson is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Eagle Patrol of the Boy Scouts, led by Rob Blake, who are characterized by their resourcefulness, bravery, and strong sense of camaraderie. As the narrative unfolds, the patrol engages in exciting missions that align with national interests, setting the stage for thrilling escapades that test their skills and character. At the start of the book, the Eagle Patrol finds themselves back home in Hampton after a successful adventure involving the discovery of an old pirate's treasure. They share lighthearted banter and reminisce about their previous outings when they are unexpectedly visited by Lieutenant Duvall and Ensign Daniel Hargreaves from the Navy, who present them with a secret mission involving the safeguarding of a high-tech submarine, the "Peacemaker." The chapter ends with a sense of foreboding as the boys glimpse a potential spy lurking near their meeting room, hinting at the thrilling adventures and dangers that lie ahead.
