The chronicles of Scout troop 131

the long version

Product description taken from book jacket: The Chronicles of Scout Troop 131 [(c)1985] by Peader O'Cullain Idyllic camping, lazy summer days, the smell of wood smoke, sunlight slanting through the forests, swimming in the pastoral privacy of an Arcadian stream... The only problem is Mr Bones. The scouts are determined to get a new scoutmaster. For isn't there something a bit wrong with the man? Doesn't some secret lie at the base of his strange behaviour? Everyone who remembers his youth will find in these poignant recollections an echo of his own experiences years ago, when the world was fresh and green and ripe for exploration, when friends were close and precious and the simple joys of nature worth far more than gold.
