THE BOY SCOUTS SERIES (PAYSON)
By Howard Payson (John Henry Goldfrap)

Notes

Titles

"You do not have to be a Boy Scout to enjoy these fascinating and interesting stories. Any boy has the chance. Next to the Manual itself, the books give an accurate impression of Boy Scout activities, for they are educational and instructive."

Originally published by Hurst, this series was later reprinted by A.L. Burt. Most volumes were illustrated by Charles L. Wrenn, who also illustrated Payson's "Motor Cycle Chums" series (Hurst).

  1. THE BOY SCOUTS OF THE EAGLE PATROL -- "In this title, self-reliance and self-defense through organized athletics are emphasized." -- 1911. Hurst; A.L. Burt.

  2. THE BOY SCOUTS ON THE RANGE -- "Cow-punchers, Indians, the Arizona desert and the Harkness ranch figure in this tale of the Boy Scouts." --1911. Hurst; A.L. Burt.

  3. THE BOY SCOUTS AND THE ARMY AIR-SHIP -- "The cleverness of one of the Scouts as an amateur inventor and the intrigues of his enemies to secure his inventions make a subject of breathless interest." -- 1911. Hurst; A.L. Burt.

  4. THE BOY SCOUTS' MOUNTAIN CAMP -- "Just so often as the reader draws a relieved breath at the escape of the Scouts from imminent danger, he loses it again in the instinctive impression, which he shares with the boys, of impending peril." -- illustrated by R.M. Brinkerhoff. 1912. Hurst; A.L. Burt.

  5. THE BOY SCOUTS FOR UNCLE SAM  -- "Patriotism is a vital principle in every Boy Scout organization, but few there are who have such an opportunity for its practical expression as comes to the members of the Eagle Patrol." -- illustrated by Charles L. Wrenn. 1912. Hurst; A.L. Burt.

  12. THE BOY SCOUTS' CAMPAIGN FOR PREPAREDNESS -- "Just as the Scouts' motto is 'Be Prepared,' just for these reasons that they prepare for their country's defense. What they do and how they do it makes a volume well worth reading." -- illustrated by Charles L. Wrenn. 1916. Hurst; A.L. Burt.
