Scouting stories

 Sometimes the things in your past and other peoples can spark a genre of novel.

Books that are about adventure which certainly is a part of scouting are not unknown, not least in the English language but there have been fictional books centred on the actual experience of being in scouts.

For a number of years there had been fictional stories published in various Cub and Scout annuals usually fairly short ones that underscored core skills, abilities and values that inspired you.

Scouting is nothing if not practical so they might show improvization and quick thinking but these are two examples of the longer form in Dutch.
