Plot[]
A porcupine uses one of his bristles as a Toothpick, but runs off when He hears The Mouse Scouts; Moxie, Mootsow, and Meep, led through the forest by their Scout Captain who got offended by the scouts saying their Captain's head isn't screwed on tight, making the Captain say "Halt, You Ninnies". Meep reacts and says "He's ain't no Ninny", then crashes into a tree and a bird's nest falls on his head, with the Captain saying that Meep's right, He's a birdbrain. Meep and the others sing and dance to the word, then stops when the Captain says "Tention!", asks the Scout Troop what the Mouse Scout oath is. They say "Be Brave", "Be Honest", and "Be sure to wear Clean Underwear". the Captain then walks off seeing the Scouts humiliated after they bump into each other, but jumps upward in a panic and hanging to a tree branch after seeing a gopher. Mootsow remarks that their Captain's a Great Tree Climber.
At a Creek, the Captain tells his Scouts to pay attention to how a cross a creek without getting wet, and he chops down a tree, making to land on the Captain, and Moxie reacts with using a lasso to rope a rock, pulling in the other side, surprising the Captain as he checks the Manual that there's nothing against pulling in the other side of the Creek, and as he tries to follow them, the other side drifts away, resulting in the Captain falling in the Creek.
As Night fell, in a Desolate area in the Forest, the Captain unknowingly Steps on an Ant Hill while setting up a Tent, infuriating the ants. The Scouts try to warn their Captain that it's a bad idea. But sadly, the Captain doesn't listen, and goes to sleep, and the ants throw a sleeping bag with the Captain inside in the mud, with Mootsow remarking that their Captain is a Great Diver. The Captain comes out of the Mud and pulls His Bag to the Tent and tries to Sleep again, but the Ants roll up the Bag with the Leader inside and push Him in the Mud again, with Mootsow remarking that their Captain is a Great Mud Wrestler as well. the Leader tries to sleep again, but sees the Same Gopher, Startled, the Leader jumps up with the Tent, with Moxie remarking on their Captain being a Great Hang Glider.
The Next Morning, the Captain marches onward, with the Scouts blindfolded with the Captain telling the Troop to remove their blindfolds, as their Assignment is to find Camp, as The Captain goes back via a motor bike. unknown to him, however, Moxie ties a string of yarn, to make the trip back more easier as the Captain goes to Sleep in His Tent. and as the Scouts return to camp, Moxie uses a Megaphone to make it sound like the Captain's Conscience, urging him to save the Scouts. the Captain wakes up and in a panic searches the forest with his motor bike, but crashes into a Black Bear, who chases the Captain who reaches a Hole in the Hill, the Black Bear gives up and leaves. The Scouts tell the Captain that it's safe, but the Captain doesn't trust their judgement and smells a rat, only to be kicked out by a skunk, who was offended. Later, The Scouts march back home with their Captain in the back because of the skunk's stench while he uses an electric fan to blow away the grungy smell.
