"A scoop" =
"News/Information."
It is a term that is mostly used by people that work in newspapers, television, etc.
Ex:
A: "Did you know? Miley Cyrus just killed her ex boyfriend!"
B: "Really?! What a scoop! Let's interview her and broadcast it on the news!"

A few meanings I can think of
1) A spoon-like utensil. Most common usage would be to move ice-cream.
2) Scoop could describe a news story that is unpublished anywhere else. (informal language)
Example sentences:
1) Can I get two scoops of chocolate ice cream please?
2) Scoop the leftover food from the bowl then put it in the dishwasher please.
3) BBC's exclusive new scoop about the government officials involved in illegal gambling has generated a lot of traffic to their website.
Note; In (2), scoop is used to mean "remove (with a spoon or something)"

A scoop could be a large spoon used for scooping like an ice cream or cookie dough scoop for making cookies, (see pic), or an old fashioned slang term for having a story to tell which was mostly used by newspaper reporters chasing a good story.
