About This Book

A Cub Scout den stages archery practice and a prize contest; a rivalry between two boys and a mysterious laugh from the woods near an old castle prompt an investigation. While filming scenes and clearing brush at the bank's request to reduce fire hazard, the boys uncover clues such as hidden niches, a strongbox, and a strange arrow that hint at a supposed ghost and hidden treasure. Confronted with rivalries, a dangerous fire, and a boy in hiding, they rely on scouting skills, teamwork, and resourcefulness to unravel the mystery, recover valuables, and settle outstanding obligations, with an epilogue that ties up loose ends.
