A Scout's Salute

More about the book

Every episode in A Scout's Salute is a fresh adventure in pristine outdoor settings, as recreated by author Dennis S. Chapman. There are tales of hikes, pranks, and campouts, of discovering nature's wonders and woodsman's skills, all masterfully told and highly entertaining. They are stories of growth in understanding, often learned the hard way. For instance, in the chapter titled "Brian's Song," we meet Brian, a young man traveling through life with great afflictions, who learns about hiking from scouts, yet teaches a poignant lesson of a father's love. Another lesson learned. As a book filled with lyrical descriptions of woodlands contrasting with hilarious misadventures, A Scout's Salute is truly worthwhile reading.
