Woodcraft

Thunder splits the woods above Hickory Ridge, and two Boy Scouts are caught miles from home—with the storm closing in and no idea where they are. Jasper Merriweather has one desperate question: will Larry leave him to face it alone?

On an August afternoon, the boys set out to prove they can manage on their own. Now their lessons in woodcraft are more than badges and talk: they must find shelter, keep their nerve, and trust each other as wind and rain bear down. Jasper thinks of Elmer Chenowith, the patrol leader who helped him grow braver—but can courage be learned when the thunder is overhead and the way home is lost? A hollow log offers shelter for only one. What will a true scout do?
