- I remember reading a book (can't remember which) that spoke of a couple of
- publishing houses that produced books of Scouts having adventures, much along
- the line of the Hardy Boys series. I recall that this was a fairly short
- lived set of books for what ever reason (depression?) but your copyright
- dates indicate that may not be the case.
- Good luck on your quest!
