The Boy Scouts as County Fair Guides

"The Boy Scouts as County Fair Guides" by Robert Shaler is an early 20th-century tale about the Oakvale Troop of Boy Scouts as they prepare for an adventure as helpers at the County Fair. The story begins as scouts, Hugh, Alec, Tom, Arthur, and Billy, are excited about the fair while heading home from a fishing trip. When they arrive, they see a poster advertising the fair, including an exciting "aëroplane" show. Right after, they hear that the troop has been chosen to be fair guides where they will offer assistance and first aid. The story also gives insight into the characters and how dedicated the scouts are.
