Life in the Great Outdoors (Trials of a Scoutmaster) is a memoir based on the camping trips of Boy Scout Troop 223 of Des Moines, Iowa. The books has been over twenty years in the making, using the notes of author Larry E. Hart's various Troop Scribes, other Leaders' slant on "last weekend's outing," and his observances of "what occurred."
