    About this ebook

    A reluctant scout embarks on a camp-out with his friends for a weekend in the woods. His father will lead the scouts on an afternoon hike to their campsite where they will be tested on the skills they’ve learned throughout the year. A horrible accident along a nearby highway will try the scouts in a way their leaders could not have imagined. There is no merit badge to prepare them for the horror making its way to their camp.
    While the scouts struggle on their own, the government attempts to cover up the accident and its deadly secrets as family members cling to their televisions fearing the worst.

      Devil’s Hopyard Stat Park – Scout Camp

      OK, we’ll stop here. Everyone take a knee for a couple of minutes.

      Jimmy slumped to the ground. His pack fell off his shoulders and he leaned against it wishing he was in bed. All he wanted to do this weekend was stay home, read his comic books, play Wii or even his stupid DS. Instead, he was out in the middle of nowhere with his scout group; hiking.

      Alright boys. Let’s set up camp in the field just beyond those trees. First thing’s first, get with your buddy and set up your tents. There’s some weather on its way, so we need shelter and then a good cookin’ fire. Then Jimmy’s dad looked over and said, Jimmy, you can bunk with me.

      Stupid scouts muttered Jimmy. Just because his dad was their leader he was forced to go on every trip or tour or meeting. Jimmy’s dad put his hand on his shoulder, Well done son. You’re really hanging in there with the older boys. I guess it’s not all bad, Jimmy thought.

      Let’s go Butthead

      OK Beavis, ehh ehh ehh. Scott quipped back at Jordan. Both were senior leaders and had been camping many times. Even though the younger kids looked up to them, they were in high school and tended to stick together. Despite this, they were scouts and often ended up setting up tents, cooking meals and even cleaning when the younger kids needed help.

      This was the group’s summer skills campout where they tested the boys’ knowledge of everything they learned over the school year. It is meant to be a practical application of their scouting skills. The older boys think of this as routine, but for the first year scouts and their fathers, it can be intimidating.

      The group of eighteen scouts and three leaders hiked out of the woods into a large grass covered field that would be their home for the next five days and spread out. The scouts broke up into three different units, each working as a group during the campout. Jimmy was in the Dragon unit named by popular vote. The SpongeBob and MacTavish units also began forming their camps. The scouts worked to set up tents, unload equipment from their packs and collect firewood. No one would be allowed to take a break until the camp was set up and the fire was started. After that, the scouts would be free to explore the woods or just hang out with their friends until it was time to make dinner.

      Wyndmoor Agricultural Research Center

      Dave Sarling, the center’s logistics officer walked in the break room stretching his arms. How’s the coffee this morning, Rich? he said while letting out a long drawn out yawn.

      Anything with caffeine is a good thing today.

      Did your crew make delivery on time? I heard things were running late the last few days.

      Rich, the team leader for the foreign species study group, looked up from his mug, Ya, almost a day late, but we met the shipping deadline late last night. Everyone pitched in, team did good. Rich took another slurp of his coffee. As soon as I hear the package has been transferred to Boston I’m goin’ home and sleeping for a few days.

      "Sounds like you need it. I’m
