First Scout

About the Book

Doug Peterson wants two things. He wants to be a good man to his stepson and to have his stepson grow and see the power of being a Boy Scout. Curt is still upset that his parents divorced and now feels that a week at Boy Scout camp is a sentence worse than death. He wants to do the cooler activity that his father wants—play football. President Jeffery Franklin was born to be a politician and has become the president of the United States. General O’Sullivan has a love of the land of his forefathers, Ireland, and will do anything to free it. Now all of these forces collide as an evil plan to overthrow the president nearly kills him and places him in the hands of four scouts and their leader. These scouts must now protect the president and use their scouting skills to get him back to Washington, DC, and save the Union.
