Bookroo's summary

Troop Danger, once known as Troop Dweeb, faces their toughest challenge yet at the Strange Scouts Annual Loch Ness Lock-In. As scouts from around the world gather, mysterious damage around Loch Ness suggests a plot to frame the legendary monster. Can these young scouts unravel the mystery, clear Nessie's name, and earn their badges before time runs out? Join them in a thrilling adventure filled with unexpected twists and daring feats.

From the publisher

The ragtag scout troop returns in a new adventure—this time, to solve a mystery surrounding the famed Loch Ness Monster. Some scouts spend their weekends weaving baskets, but if you’re a Strange Scout you spend them tagging Massachusetts Pukwudgies (harder than it sounds—Pukwudgies like to set things on fire). Troop Danger has come a long way from their Troop Dweeb days, but nothing can prepare them for what’s next: The Strange Scouts Annual Loch Ness Lock-In! Once a year, Strange Scout troops from around the world are invited to test their scouting skills in an old lighthouse on the shore of the infamous Loch Ness. But when the area surrounding Loch Ness suffers unusual damage, evidence points to a dastardly plot to frame Nessie herself! Can the Strange Scouts’ newest troop clear Nessie’s name and earn their badges before it’s too late?
