The sun hammered down on the shores of Lake Lilac, where the Campeoree’s final rounds unfolded. Camp Campbell’s fate, gambled on a losing streak, now trembled in the balance. Exhausted and defeated, the Campbellers gathered for their turn. Thick tension hung in the air as David tried to rally them with forced cheer, only to be cut down by Gwen’s fiery refusal to conform. Max’s cynical verdict — that they were one step from becoming the Wood Scouts’ lackeys — lingered like a bad smell. Then Neil stepped forward, proposing a chaotic nitroglycerin challenge designed to exploit the other camps’ weaknesses. A hush fell. Every face turned toward Harrison, waiting for his event to tip the desperate scales.
