Summary

Ice hockey skills. An unbearable personality. Alex Pearson has it all. But when he's suspended for his hockey team for accepting a sponsorship from a local flower shop, he must find new ways to occupy his time, such as becoming the new Den Mother of his sister's troop of girl scout-adjacent Bumblebees, even though... wait, am I reading this right? He's a BOY?!

Cue plenty of Mrs Doubtfire-esque shenanigans as Alex tries to help his sister's troop stay together, while trying to earn his father's respect and avoid the scrutiny of the evil Den Mother Dina Reams. Can Alex become a good role model for his adorable troop? Is anyone fooled by him calling himself Mrs Zamboni, putting cocktail sauce on his face and shrieking? And just what the hell is Camporee? Listen and find out!
