The Girl Scouts at Penguin Pass

As a newly-inducted member of the Intermediate Scout Troop of Fairfield, Judy Grant travels to Maple Leaf Lodge with the other Girl Scouts for a fun week of skiing at Penguin Pass. From the very beginning, the trip appears jinxed. The Scouts face bad weather, ice roads, and—Caleb Shively. The caretaker is not only inhospitable, he openly demands that they leave the lodge at once! The Scouts remain as they have permission from the owner, but not without misgiving. The caretaker remains unfriendly and aloof, refusing to help with any of the chores. Judy scents a mystery when she sees Shively journeying out into the cold night for no apparent reason. After objects begin disappearing, Judy wonders if Shively could be a thief. The problem is that the Boy Scouts have high regard for Mr. Shively. Why does he hate the Girl Scouts? The girls discover that the answer lies at Penguin Pass, and they face many dangers before they finally learn the solution to the mystery.
