Donald Bud Wible is a retired businessman who enjoys telling tales of his past experiences, and he has definitely lived a full life. Little Buddy Goes to Scout Camp is a collection of real life happenings from Buds days as a young lad growing up and coming of age in the best era in American history, the 1950s. The reader is given an introduction into the life of Buddy as he packs up and heads off to Boy Scout Camp for a couple of weeks in the summer of his thirteenth year. The author provides insight into the life and mind of a middle class white boy from Baltimore during that time period through periodic flashbacks. No punches are pulled: this tale depicts life as best as it was remembered. Little Buddy and his best friend, Nathan, pull numerous pranks, rig sporting events to their advantage, evade beatings by enemy scouts, and even land the opportunity to explore what little they know of sex with a couple of girls on Parents Day. Each day provides new opportunities for this devious duo as they make every attempt to buck the system. However, as much fun as Buddy and Nathan make for themselves, the boys get themselves into a situation they cant control when, while on a self-guided hike, they are kidnapped by an old hermit and his pet wolf. Overpowered, they must rely on their mental acuity and prior scout training to turn the odds of survival in their favor.
