Summary "The Wolf Patrol: A Tale of Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts" by John Finnemore is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around the adventures of a group of schoolboys who form a Boy Scout patrol inspired by the teachings of Lieutenant-General Robert Baden-Powell. With themes of camaraderie, bravery, and fair play, it focuses on the characters Dick Elliott and Chippy Slynn as they navigate their relationships and challenges in the context of scouting. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the setting of Bardon, where a fierce rivalry exists between the boys of the Grammar School and the "wharf-rats" of Skinner's Hole. The narrative captures one of their skirmishes, known as a 'slug,' emphasizing their competitive spirits and playful aggression. Meanwhile, Chippy, the leader of the wharf-rats, becomes intrigued by scouting after accidentally discovering a book by Baden-Powell. As the story unfolds, Dick and his friends decide to establish the Wolf Patrol and engage in various scouting activities, setting the stage for future teamwork and personal growth among the characters. Chippy's desire to pursue scouting also introduces potential for friendship and collaboration between the rival groups. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
