The Boy Scouts for Home Protection

"The Boy Scouts for Home Protection" by Robert Shaler is a story about a group of Boy Scouts in the early 1900s who want to make their town better and safer. The main focus is on Hugh Hardin, the leader of the group, and his friends as they notice a risky part of town where accidents could easily happen. The boys decide they need to step up and do something to keep the kids in their town safe. As they talk about problems in their town and figure out how to fix them, it becomes clear that these scouts are ready to take charge and help their community by taking on important responsibilities. Hugh is ready to lead the charge on the troop's latest mission.
