Webster is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of boys in Lenox who are inspired to form a Boy Scout troop after one of their peers shares his experiences from visiting a neighboring town. Emphasizing themes of friendship, teamwork, and self-reliance, the narrative hints at upcoming adventures and challenges they will face as they embark on their first hike. The beginning of the story introduces key characters such as Tom Chesney, a natural leader, and his friends, including Carl Oskamp, Felix Robbins, and George Cooper. The boys are excited about forming their own Scout troop and quickly get to work on organizing their first patrol, the Black Bear Patrol. They discuss the rules and responsibilities of being scouts and eagerly anticipate their first camping trip, which promises both camaraderie and the opportunity to explore the great outdoors. However, an ominous note is struck when it is revealed that a local gang, including the troublemaker Dock Phillips, is also planning to camp near them, which raises the stakes for their upcoming adventure.
