Tom Slade's Double Dare

At Temple Camp the rain has turned the usual bustle of scouts into a soggy, half‑dreamlike tableau. The Silver Fox Patrol huddles in a cramped pavilion, trading jokes and riddles while the swollen lake threatens to swallow the cabins whole. Amid the endless downpour, the boys—Roy, Pee‑wee, Westy and their newcomers—find themselves stuck between waiting for supper and inventing ways to pass the relentless hours.

Even in the gloom, a quiet intrigue begins to surface. Whispers of a mysterious figure called “Goliath” and the strange involvement of Aaron Harlowe hint at hidden layers beneath the campfire stories. As the scouts navigate the mud, the rain, and each other’s antics, they stumble onto a puzzling episode that could become the most unforgettable tale they ever tell around a fire.
