If you provide some more information, then maybe someone can help. The whole clue would be a good start !!
25a is one of the clues where the answer has to be changed before entry into the grid. So, HEL is not in the answer - which is 6 letters, whereas the entry is only 5 letters.
Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood.

The answer to the clue is DEADEN.

Beloved = DEAR
Group of American scouts = DEN

The R is the extra letter.

Thanks Rollo, that is how I had worked it out but nice to have it confirmed.
BigDave 44, Inquisitor is not a straight crossword, the themes and wordplay differ weekly,and unless you actually have the grid, theme and extensive guidance in front of you, it is impossible to deduce. In this case wordplay in each clue yielded an extra letter in clue order to spell out a reference. This crossword is in the Saturday Independent's magazine.
