"Under Boy Scout Colors" by Joseph Bushnell Ames is a compelling narrative that follows the journey of Dale Tompkins, a young boy who joins the Boy Scouts in Hillsgrove. The story begins with Dale, a paperboy, who heroically saves a young child from an electric wire, showcasing his bravery and quick thinking. Despite his courageous act, Dale faces challenges in being accepted by his peers in Troop Five due to his modest background and lack of a proper uniform. The troop is led by Scoutmaster Curtis, who recognizes Dale's potential and offers him guidance and support. Dale's initial interactions with the troop, particularly with the patrol leader Ranny Phelps, are strained, as Ranny is dismissive and critical of Dale's appearance and abilities. However, Dale's determination and positive attitude gradually win over some of the scouts, especially after he demonstrates his skills and performance on the football field. His progress during practice impresses Sherman Ward, the football captain, who sees potential in Dale's abilities. As the story unfolds, Dale's perseverance and character begin to change the perceptions of those around him, highlighting themes of courage, acceptance, and the true spirit of scouting. Through his journey, Dale learns the importance of self-belief and the impact of kindness and support from others, ultimately finding his place within the troop and earning the respect of his peers.
