When the ambulance had gone with the injured men I walked a little way with the boys, and learned that they belonged to a wonderful organization called 'Boy Scouts.' I had heard of Boy Scouts, but I supposed it was one of the ordinary clubs where boys got together just for play.
"I was so much interested that I looked up the head office of the Boy Scouts, and asked questions about them.

Then I bought these copies of the _Boy Scout's Handbook_.

They tell about the things the scouts do, and how a boy may become a scout.

I knew you chaps would be so interested you would each want a book, so I bought a half-dozen copies.

The extra books we can give to other boys up the Bay." "Could we be scouts ?" asked Andy breathlessly.
"Yes, to be sure!" Doctor Joe smiled.
"'Twould be rare fun, now!" exclaimed David.
"All of us scouts, just like the boys in New York ?" Jamie asked, his face aglow.
"Yes," answered Doctor Joe.
