| Summary |
"Boy Scouts at Sea; Or, A Chronicle of the B. S. S. Bright Wing" by Arthur A. Carey is a fictional adventure story written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a group of young Sea Scouts as they embark on a cruise aboard the Boy Scout ship "Bright Wing". Throughout their journey, the boys partake in various nautical activities, learn about seamanship, and face challenges that test their skills and camaraderie. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Dick Gray and his friends who are excitedly preparing for their first summer cruise. Dick seeks advice from his brother, George, who shares a significant tale illustrating the values of bravery and duty, which resonates with the Scout oath the boys have taken. They discuss the importance of scouting and begin to form a plan to uphold their commitments. As the cruise commences, the excitement builds, with scouts learning about their roles and responsibilities, which foreshadows the adventures and lessons ahead as they encounter both the joys and challenges of life at sea.
