Summary "Tom Slade: Boy Scout of the Moving Pictures" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Tom Slade, a mischievous and reckless boy whose antics often land him in trouble. Faced with challenges in his life, including his relationship with authority figures and peers, Tom finds a transformative opportunity through the Boy Scouts, instilling in him values of responsibility, camaraderie, and honor. At the start of the story, we see Tom engaging in typical boyhood mischief in his neighborhood, Barrel Alley, where he throws stones and plays pranks, capturing the attention of the local residents and the truant officer. After a chance encounter with Mr. Ellsworth, a scoutmaster, and a discussion about the consequences of his actions, Tom is introduced to the idea of scouting. This interaction sparks a change in him as he becomes interested in the Boy Scouts, seeing it as a way to channel his energy and resolve his delinquent behavior. Tom's early adventures set the stage for his character development throughout the novel as he navigates the complexities of growing up and strives to become a better person.
