520 _a"Sea Scouts All: How the 'Olivette' was Won" by Percy F. Westerman is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows a group of aspiring Sea Scouts led by Scoutmaster Mr. Armitage, focusing on their struggles and ambitions to acquire a proper boat for sailing adventures after having started with a modest ex-naval gig. The story promises themes of camaraderie, perseverance, and nautical excitement, as the young scouts dream of maritime exploration. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Milford Sea Scouts, specifically Patrol-leader Peter Stratton and his friends, who are eager to improve their seamanship skills but face financial hurdles in acquiring a new boat. Through a discussion about their current financial situation, the scouts express their longing for bigger adventures and eventually settle on the idea of taking on jobs to finance a new yacht. This leads to their first opportunity: to navigate a motor yacht named the "Olivette" from Great Yarmouth to Poole Harbour. Characters are established with distinct personalities, showcasing their enthusiasm and determination as they prepare for their upcoming journey, all while learning the fundamental skills of boating and navigation.
