scouts (youth organization members)

"With his best friends Sumo and Jake, Clarence takes on the hot summer heat, between the arcade and a wild imagination, this will be a summer no one will forget"--OCLC.

"Like many young literary detectives, the spunky junior members of the Secret Spy Society have lots on their plates--spy chores, club meetings, the care of an energetic pet cheetah. As the story begins, a new case has sauntered up to their doorstep. The best designs of the fabulous Fashion Twins have been purloined, and the evidence leads our heroines to a veritable workhouse full of uniformed, unhappy Scouts. But why have these kids stolen the styles?"--School Library Journal.

After his mother passes away, fifteen-year-old Rolf runs away and lives in a wigwam with Quonab, a Native American and his dog. The outdoor skills Quonab teaches Rolf become vital when he goes off to fight in the War of 1812.

"The Strange Scouts protect nature's most valuable resource--monsters! Troop D (or Troop "Dweeb" as some of the other scouts like to say) are the newest recruits to the Strange Scouts, and they're on a mission to rescue the legendary Bigfoot, whose water supply has been contaminated. Luckily, with the help of their scoutmaster, Walter, and the every-handy century-old 'Scout's Handbook of Cryptozoology and Manners,' they might just have a chance"--Back cover.

"Avani is the new kid in town, and she's not happy about it. Everyone in school thinks she's weird, especially the girls in her Flower Scouts troop. Is it so weird to think scouting should be about fun and adventure, not about makeovers and boys, boys, boys? But everything changes when Avani is 'accidentally' abducted by a spunky alien named Mabel. Mabel is a scout too--a Star Scout. Collecting alien specimens (like Avani) goes with the territory, along with teleportation and jetpack racing. Avani might be weird, but in the Star Scouts she fits right in. If she can just survive Camp Andromeda, and keep her dad from discovering that she's left planet Earth, she's in for the adventure of a lifetime"--From publisher's web site.
