Summary "The Boy Scouts of the Field Hospital" by Robert Shaler is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of Boy Scouts, specifically the Oakvale Troop, as they embark on a summer camping trip and soon find themselves amidst burgeoning tensions due to a labor strike at a nearby cement works. With the absence of their scout master, the boys, led by Hugh Hardin, must navigate various challenges, including a potential riot and the responsibilities of first aid, highlighting themes of bravery, camaraderie, and community service. At the start of the narrative, the Scouts are setting up camp by the Hurricane River, excited about their summer ahead. However, their plans are interrupted by the news of a nearby strike and subsequent unrest, leading to a tight-knit group dynamic as they attempt to avoid trouble. The opening chapters introduce key characters, such as Hugh and Billy, and establish the setting of a summer camp fraught with danger. As the boys deal with their immediate concerns, including a near-drowning incident, they begin to realize the broader implications of the unrest around them, setting the stage for their bloom into leaders and rescuers in a time of need.
