The Eagle Patrol gathers in their cramped, memorabilia‑lined room on Long Island, a ragtag family of tough‑talking teens led by the wiry, quick‑thinking Rob Blake. Their recent triumphs—treasure hunts, desert chases and daring air‑ship rescues—have forged a bond as solid as the bank vaults that now line their pockets. Surrounded by boxing gloves, Morse‑code charts and a massive wooden eagle that watches over them, the boys are ready for any challenge that comes their way.
When a lone yacht drifts into view on the horizon, curiosity turns into a mission. The scouts spot something odd on the deck, and a cryptic signal leads them to an abandoned vessel that holds a mystery worth solving for their country. With their scouting skills, courage, and a dash of teenage ingenuity, they set out on a seafaring adventure that will test their loyalty, resourcefulness, and the very meaning of “Scout honor.
