This sparks rivalry with jr. troop leader, Lars (13), and ignites a battle for the throne between Gerdy and her naive co-leader, Gunnar. Now Gerdy leads a coup d’état and is about to seize the rights to the Scout house. Unless Berny confesses his charade, the Badger’s will lose everything; will he sacrifices winning the trophy and risk losing his newfound friends?
