Gordon Lord and Harry Arnold, both members of the Boy Scout Beaver Patrol, miss the train when their troop heads to Lake Champlain for a summer camping experience. Gordon and Harry plan a hike to join their friends, using topographical maps and other aids. They set out and along the way have many adventures. They save some lives, win some races, take Fort Ticonderoga by surprise, build a glider, and generally have a lot of fun along with some close calls.
