where are the scout leaders? they’d better be freaking out over the boys’ disappearance…
nice cliffhanger! The canvas detail also sticks with me.

Well, since this afternoon resulted in memories for these fictional scouts, we can assume that they were found eventually, perhaps when they were discovered to be missing during the head count at the lodge. Want to write about it?

BTW, I essentially stole this from my sister who worked at a camp and had to go find a couple of kids during a tornado warning. I just switched the perspective and added details from my own memories of summer camps.

Hm… Interesting.

This reminds me of a similar boy scout camping trip I had, only it wasn’t a tornado, but a grass fire. I quit scouts after that trip.
