Gregory Sampson Alaric Jaxartes Long Description :

"No good deed goes unpunished." (George Santayana)
   ... and when Boy Scout Troop 809 goes into a state forest preserve to clean up industrial dumping, they find that their very presence in the forest brings controversy from their environmentally-minded peers and the media. Despite the opposition, the Scouts persevere in their efforts until a forest fire threatens to end their operation and the attempts of several Scouts to earn their Eagle rank, the highest achievement in Scouting.
