Chapter 1 At Camp
The scout leader finished assigning the different dens to tents and then told the scouts to get settled in.The boys grabbed their backpacks and ran down to the campsite.
Carlos and his friend Logan quickly found the Tiger den's tent."Mine," Carlos said, flinging himself onto one of the cots.
Logan stared out at the forest that surrounded the field like a wall of trees."I hope there are plenty of insects out there.I need to find a few more species for my insect study badge."
"Nature is nice to look at," said Carlos, "but if you can't throw it, dribble it, or score points with it, I'm not interested."
Logan chuckled. "Well, we're hiking the nature trail this afternoon. You might change your mind."
Carlos shrugged and put his things away."I can't wait to get onto the archery range," he said.
Chapter 2 OnTarget
Carlos drew another arrow from his quiver.He clicked the groove at the end of it into place on the string.He raised the bow, pulled back on the string, and took aim at the target across the field.
His arms trembled as he let the arrow fly,but it shot through the air like a thunderbolt and thudded into the target.The arrow hit close to the middle of the yellow ring.
"Not bad," Carlos thought. He almost had the points he needed to beat his best score.He was sure the last arrow would do it.
Carlos pulled the string back and took aim once more.
"Okay, finish up the quiver you're on," the archery instructor called. "Then we'll break for lunch."
Carlos let loose. Again the arrow shot into the target with a thud.Carlos peered at the place where his arrow hit.This time it was buried in the black ring near the edge. That wasn't so good.
Carlos frowned. He'd been distracted by the instructor.Just when he was getting into his groove, they were taking a break.And after that, they would be off on a nature hike.
