Summary "The Boy Scouts at the Panama Canal" by Lieutenant Howard Payson is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the Eagle Patrol, a group of Boy Scouts, as they embark on various escapades, exhibiting bravery and resourcefulness, particularly in the context of assisting a girl named Lucy Mainwaring and dealing with the antagonistic Jared Applegate. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the Panama Canal, blending themes of heroism, camaraderie, and the spirit of scouting. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Farmer Hiram Applegate, who harbors animosity towards the Boy Scouts, especially due to his son Jared's complicated past. A comical encounter ensues when the Scouts help Lucy Mainwaring, who accidentally gets her car stuck in a ditch while trying to avoid hitting a pig. The Scouts, led by Rob Blake, arrive just in time to assist her, showcasing their commitment to helping others and their scout values. As tensions build between Jared and the scouts, the stage is set for further confrontations, hinting at a deeper plot involving espionage and the Panama Canal, which will unspool as the story progresses.
