A Scout of To-day

In a quiet New England tidal town, fourteen‑year‑old Colin Estey spends his days wandering salt‑marshes, studying fish, birds, and the ebbing tide. The surrounding forest looms as a vast, uncharted realm that fills him with both awe and a restless desire to prove himself. From the rustle of feathered wings to the whisper of the river, the narrative paints a vivid portrait of a boy’s intimate bond with the natural world.

When the summer sun peaks, Colin answers that call, setting out toward the deep woods with the spirit of a modern scout. Along the way he confronts the challenges of unfamiliar terrain, the lessons of seasoned woodsmen, and the thrill of discovering hidden creatures. Listeners are invited to share his youthful excitement, his careful observations, and the timeless wonder of exploring the great outdoors.
