The Boy Scouts with the Red Cross

"The Boy Scouts with the Red Cross" by Robert Shaler is an early 20th-century adventure where Boy Scouts from Oakvale, under Scout Master Hugh Hardin, rush to help injured strikers during a riot, setting up a field hospital and encountering Nurse Jones. As the boys, like Billy Worth and Arthur Cameron, learn about courage and helping others, things get complicated when the factory owner's grandson vanishes, making everyone wonder if the strikers are involved. The Scouts, showing bravery and kindness, join the search for the missing child, mixing the values of scouting with a story of community service.
