| Summary |
"Dan Carter-- Cub Scout" by Mildred A. Wirt is a children's adventure novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows young Dan Carter and his fellow Cub Scouts as they navigate various challenges during a camping trip, attempting to explore a pheasant farm while contending with misunderstandings and conflicts with an unfriendly foreman. The narrative emphasizes themes of friendship, teamwork, and the importance of honesty among youth. The opening of the novel establishes the setting of a rainy camping trip where Dan and his fellow Cub Scouts are sharing a cabin, struggling against dreary weather but determined to make the most of their adventure. As Dan and the Cub leader, Mr. Hatfield, venture outside to check on conditions, they encounter a foreboding stranger, Saul Dobbs, who warns them they are trespassing on private property. This encounter foreshadows trouble as the group, while trying to assert their good intentions, finds themselves at odds with the suspicious and belligerent Dobbs, setting the stage for further challenges ahead, including navigating the complexities of friendship and trust within their den.
