Bookroo's summary

Stink and his friends, led by Riley Rottenberger, form the Big Bad Badgers after discovering Survival Scouts is boys-only. As they tackle wilderness challenges, from knot-tying to insect-eating, they aim for the elusive Golden Honey Badger Award. But can this bickering bunch overcome their differences and succeed in their quest? Join their adventure filled with nature hunts and unexpected trials, where cooperation is key. Will they earn the badges and awards they dream of, or will survival prove tougher than anticipated? Dive into this wild journey and find out!

From the publisher

A-roo-ga-roo! Stink and his friends can’t wait to learn wilderness survival skills. But first the pack of friends will have to survive scouting . . . and one another! Brushing your teeth with a stick! Pooping in the woods! Stink and his friends are raring to learn all that and more in Survival Scouts. Wait! What? Survival Scouts is for boys only? No fair! So with Riley Rottenberger (aka the Great Golu) at the helm, Stink and his friends decide to form their own troop of nature explorers: the Big Bad Badgers. There will be badges to earn, climbing-up ceremonies, and awards to win. But never did these squabbling scouts imagine survival would be much harder than tying knots, reading animal tracks and scats, or even eating an insect. Ack! The Golden Honey Badger Award is starting to feel like an impossible dream to this pack of (bickering) badgers! What do they have to do to earn the coveted prize? Fans of wild backyard nature hunts–and champions of cooperation–will be hot on the trail of this quintessential Stink adventure, with fun extras at the end of each chapter. Cricket pancakes, anyone?
