| Summary | "The Boy Scouts in the Great Flood" by Robert Shaler is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the experiences of a group of Boy Scouts, particularly focusing on two characters, Hugh Hardin and Billy Worth, as they navigate the dangers posed by a sudden flood. Through their resourcefulness and bravery, the scouts engage in rescue efforts to help those affected by the disaster, showcasing themes of camaraderie, courage, and the spirit of service. At the start of the narrative, Hugh and Billy travel to Lawrence on a seemingly normal journey that quickly turns urgent as they witness ominous signs of a flood, notably the heavy rain expected to follow the spring thaw. Their plans are disrupted when the rain triggers severe flooding in the area, isolating them in a city grappling with disaster. As they absorb the gravity of the situation, they take the initiative to rally local scouts, forming a relief effort to save lives and property. The opening sequence sets the stage for a compelling tale of heroism and teamwork amid adversity, with the two friends at the forefront of the action. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
