Under Boy Scout Colors is an early scouting novel about the boys of a scouting troop in a country town. This sounds ordinary fare, but in the words of the book, it turned out to be a "corker", though to be honest, I'm struggling a little to explain why. On the surface it is a fairly ordinary book. The boys have adventures, play sports, raise funds, go camping, and engage in occasional heroics. All good scouting stuff I suppose. All I can say is that the characters were engaging, and I wanted to join in with them, even when they were playing gridiron and baseball, about which I know nothing. I guess this mirrors my upbringing watching my brothers play soccer and enjoy the fun of Boys Brigade (a Christian equivalent to scouts), and wishing I could participate with them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the history of scouting, or who enjoys classic children's books. Many thanks to the narrator for his capable and relaxing reading.
