Scamps (7)
I believe the answer is:
rascals
'scamps' is the definition.
('rascal' can be a synonym of 'scamp')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rascals that I've seen before include "'Scoundrels, rogues (7)'" , "Mischievous or cheeky people" , "naughty boys?" , "Knaves" , "Mischievous children" .)
