Summary "The Boy Patrol Around the Council Fire" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of Boy Scouts, particularly focusing on Jack Crandall and his friends, as they explore the woods, engage with their community, and face various challenges during their summer vacation by Gosling Lake. Themes of friendship, bravery, and adventure are woven throughout the narrative, alongside elements of mystery and camaraderie among the young characters. The opening of the novel introduces Jack Crandall, who suffers a leg injury while scouting and receives care from his friends and a local doctor, Dr. Spellman. As Jack recuperates, his friends—especially Mike Murphy, a charming Irish boy scout—curiously investigate the absence of Uncle Elk, a reclusive character who has a curious relationship with Dr. Spellman. The narrative hints at underlying tensions and conflicts involving tramps in the area, hinting at a subplot of excitement and mystery for the boys as they seek to uncover the truth of these strange occurrences while embracing their roles as scouts. Other characters, such as friends Gerald Hume and Arthur Mitchell, add depth to the dynamic and exploratory spirit among the youth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
