An adventure-filled, illustrated chapter book series about a scout troop that protects endangered monsters!

The lowest-ranked Troop D (or Troop Dweeb, as the other troops refer to them) learns that their sleepaway camp is really a training ground for protecting the earth's most endangered species—monsters! Now these underdog troopers are next in line to earn their Monster Merit Badges. 

Troop D is on a mission to rescue the legendary Big Foot, whose water supply has been contaminated. Luckily, with the help of their troop master and the ever-handy century-old Scout's Handbook, they might just have a chance!
“Cody's cryptozoological camper caper is a good kickoff for a new series aimed at those newly comfortable with chapters. Plentiful illustrations by Lambe show his roots in television animation, offering just enough Saturday-morning goofiness of a Scooby variety to hook new readers.” –Kirkus Reviews
