Boy Scouts on the Great Divide; Or, The Ending of the Trail

A small Boy Scout camp nestles in a quiet mountain valley, its canvas tents fluttering beside a sparkling creek that will soon become the Sweetwater River. Four eager scouts—Will, George, Sandy, and Tommy—have set up for an evening meal while awaiting a mysterious messenger who will deliver the details of a secret assignment from a trusted Chicago lawyer. Their routine is interrupted when a lone traveler, Joseph J. Katz, appears, weary from a long trek and in need of shelter, prompting the boys to extend their hospitality under the glow of the campfire.

As the scouts share food and stories with the stranger, the promise of a new adventure looms on the horizon. The boys’ badges and recent exploits hint at their competence, yet the unknown mission awaiting them in the rugged West promises fresh challenges. Listeners are drawn into the camaraderie, the crisp mountain air, and the subtle tension of a journey that is about to begin.
