Pt. 1

|
|
Coming back to school for a Junior Camper meeting is lame, but at least Homer dropped me off and went to Moe's so this uniform is all I have to be embarrassed about.
|
|
Now if I can just get through this thing without anyone seeing me…
|
|
Hey, Simpson! What's with that goofy getup?
|
|
You look like you're about to start yodeling for some strudel or something.
|
|
What are you guys doing here?
|
|
We fell asleep in the dodgeball bin while we were skipping class.
|
|
They really relax your back after a long morning of beating up nerds.
|
|
Speaking of nerds, is that a Junior Camper outfit?
|
|
|
What? Me a Junior Camper? No way! This is, uh…
|
|
Ah, Simpson, there you are! You're late to the Junior Camper meeting.
|
|
Not a Junior Camper, huh?
|
|
Why, you boys should come to the meeting, too. I could go on all day about the character benefits of being a Junior Camper!
|
|
This is a nightmare, right? Someone's gonna pinch me and I'm gonna wake up any second now…
|
|
I'll pinch you with my fist if it gets Skinner to shut up.
|

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Scouting Bart's exclamation mark
|
|
Hey, Skinner, did you get your merit badge in "Boring Kids to Tears" yet, or is that next week's meeting?
|
|
Why, you—!
|
|
Ha-ha!
|
|
It wasn't really funny until he said "Why, you—!"
|
|
I hear you're teaching survival skills now. What's lesson one? How to survive a day in detention without falling asleep?
|
|
|
Is part of your scout training teaching kids how to set up a perimeter to avoid contact with fun and excitement?
|
|
|
Haha! It's funny because Skinner is so lame!
|
|
I wasn't laughed at during my set at open-mic night when I was a POW in Vietnam. And I won't be laughed at now!
|
|
|
Wait, what now?
|

|
|
What was that? That was crazy!
|
|
|
He's barricaded himself in the janitor's closet to "wait for the choppers".
|
|
Not again!
|
|
|
Now if we could learn to be scary like THAT, scouting would almost be not completely lame.
|
|
|
Oh yeah, that's totally what Junior Camper scouting is now. You can get merit badges for all sorts of cool stuff now.
|
|
|
Really? Show us.
|
|
|
Now?
|
|
|
*cracks knuckles*
|
|
|
Now is good.

Pt. 3
| After tapping on Scouting Bart's exclamation mark
|
|
Okay, we're out on the street. Now what?
|
|
|
Well, uh, we can tag those dumpsters over there!
|
|
We can get merit badges for graffiti?
|
|
|
Sure! It's the, uh, "Street Art" merit badge.
|
Task: "Make Scouting Bart Scout for Mischief". The job takes 4 hours.
If any Bullies are owned: Task: "Make Bullies Earn a "Street Art" Badge" (x3). The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Wow, Jimbo. I'm really impressed with this.
|
|
Really?
|
|
|
Oh, yeah. I didn't think you could properly depict the pain and anguish of a wedgie with colors, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
|
|
|
The red lines represent the rage that fuels the yank.
|
|
|
And Nelson, this image of a fist breaking a pair of glasses is super lifelike.
|
|
It's one of my favorite memories.
|
|
Bart, he grabbed me and told me to stand still and model for him, but I didn't think he'd punch me first!
|
|
|
What can I say? My muse really took me there.
|
|
|
Nice.

Pt. 4
| After tapping on Scouting Bart's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Why are we at this movie theater now?
|
|
|
Even I know you can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
|
|
|
Right. That's why we're just going to pull the fire alarm.
|
|
|
What merit badge do we get for this?
|
|
|
Uh, how does "Social Dynamics" sound?
|
|
|
Like I don't know what that means, so it's probably real.
|
Task: "Make Scouting Bart Pull a Fire Alarm". The job takes place at Googolplex, Springfield Community Theater, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
If any Bullies are owned: Task: "Make Bullies Conduct a "Social Dynamics" Experiment" (x3). The job takes place at Googolplex, Springfield Community Theater, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
So, what did you all learn?
|
|
|
I learned that this theater does not follow proper fire safety guidelines at all.
|
|
|
I counted no fewer than four different emergency exits that weren't properly marked or were blocked by obstructions.
|
|
|
Oh, uh…that's good to notice. Did you…uh…see how that affected the social dynamics at all?
|
|
|
Well, I did see several of the moviegoers pick up the Squeaky-Voice Teen and use him as a battering ram to open up one of those blocked doors.
|
|
Nothing like panic to really bring people together, eh?
|
|
|
Uh…yeah! Absolutely! Good work, guys.

Pt. 5
| After tapping on Scouting Bart's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Can't believe I got away with that! Now that Nelson and his crew have gone home, I can catch the last part of the Junior Camper meeting.
|
|
|
Hey, Bart.
|
|
|
Nelson? Guys? What are you doing here?
|
|
|
Hey, we did all that scouting stuff with you, so we're here to get our merit badges.
|
|
|
*thinking* Okay, this isn't terrible. I can still talk my way out of this.
|
|
|
So, decided to check out the Junior Campers after all, eh, boys?
|
|
|
I'm dead.
|
Task: "Make Scouting Bart Be Shocked to See the Bullies". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 4 hours.
If any Bullies are owned: Task: "Make Bullies Expect to Receive Merit Badges" (x3). The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 4 hours.
|
|
You want merit badges for what?
|
|
|
Street Art, Food Tasting, Virtual Athletics, and, uh, what was the other one?
|
|
|
Social Dynamics.
|
|
|
Yeah, that one.
|
|
|
Scoutmaster Skinner, I can explain…if you give me like five minutes to come up with something that won't get me kicked out or beat up.
|
|
|
No need. Those actually ARE real merit badges now.
|
|
|
They are?
|
|
|
Unfortunately, yes. It's almost impossible to get modern kids to crochet or learn carpentry, so we've had to expand the field quite a bit.
