A Boy Scout Around the World is a travel description published in October 1928 and written by Danish Boy Scout and later actor Palle Huld at the age of 15 following his travel around the world in spring 1928.

For 26 years I was an alcoholic and lived my life out of control. I never even thought of God much less sought a personal relationship with Him. This is how it is now. Through my youngest son's surrender to cocaine addition, I was able to get a good look at my life the way God saw it and it was not a pretty picture. I was to the place in my addiction that I was drinking around the clock and thought that I would die without it.
