Presenting We’re Alive: Scout’s Honor - Chapter 1 - Welcome to Camp
May 8, 2009. Franklin’s first day at Camp Emerald Bay goes horribly wrong…
Chapter 1 of “We’re Alive: Scout’s Honor” is being featured on the We’re Alive feed, but the rest of the series will continue on a new Scout’s Honor feed. Find it on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or search for "We're Alive: Scout's Honor" on your podcast player of choice.
Stranded on Catalina Island after the Outbreak, a small group of Adventure Scouts confront the “Infected", testing their mettle and the strength of their friendships. This immersive audio drama is a heart-pounding blend of horror and adventure as these preteens, armed with only determination and their Scout Rules, navigate the rugged island, discovering the essence of courage and sacrifice in the face of an apocalypse. Bonds are tested, innocence is lost, and the scout motto “Stay Alert, Stay Alive” takes on a whole new, dark significance in this stand-alone new audio drama from the creators of We’re Alive.
WARNING: This miniseries contains distressing scenarios involving children, including graphic violence and gore, as well as underage drinking and use of firearms. Listener discretion is advised.
FOR OUR LISTENERS IN THE UK (UPDATED): Please be advised that the original upload of this podcast contained language that, while benign in an American context, is considered offensive in many parts of the world: The abbreviation of the Venture Scout rank "Pollywog." This was unintentional, and we are grateful to the listeners who messaged and informed us early on. We have since removed the word from this and all future Chapters of Scout's Honor. Your podcast player of choice may take time to update to this new edited version.

Chapter One
Welcome to Camp.
Welcome to Camp Emerald Bay.
Each year, venture scouts from around the country come to beautiful and serene Catalina Island to foster trust, loyalty, good citizenship, citizenship, and bravery,
all while making great friends and lasting memories.
Come on aboard.
The last ferry to Catalina will be leaving in ten minutes.
Love you, Mom.
Love you too, honey.
Have a good time at camp.
Place your bag at the end of the dock.
Be sure to take your carry-on with you.
Nice suitcase.
Was I not supposed to bring one?
You gonna take that on the trail?
Classic polywog.
You!
You've already checked in.
Now get on the boat.
Just ignore them.
First time?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
This is gonna be a big summer for you.
I remember my first time at Emerald Bay.
The camp is magical.
On you go.
I can't believe mom is making me do this.
All aboard for Catalina!
How Barracudas this year?
I'm hoping for troop Himalayan jumping spider.
Dude, that's not a troop name.
It should be.
Maybe the bisons.
I hear there's some still on the island.
Yeah, left over from some movie or something.
What do you want?
You're not sitting here, kid.
Uh, no, I.
I'm gonna get a snack.
Leave the nerd alone, Chase.
Whatever.
Here's your change.
Condiment's just around the corner.
You again, uh, Franklin, right?
I was just looking for uh.
For any last-minute supplies?
some of this you won't find at camp.
Trust me.
How much is this?
Notepads, four dollars.
I'll take it.
My mom's making me write every day.
Yeah, moms do that.
Is this where we're going?
Oh, yeah, that's Camp Emerald Bay on the back there.
You're all set.
Next,
this seat taken?
It's all yours, kid.
Okay.
Dear mom, I'm riding you like I promised.
Well, camp is already terrible like I told you it'd be.
And I'm not even there yet.
I'm the oldest polywad here.
It's so embarrassing.
Why couldn't we earn any of these badges at home?
Everyone my age is a higher rank.
Why do I have to do this right now and here?
Oh, oh, sorry.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Here, let me help.
Ah, this is nothing.
This happens more than you think.
My aunt says I should look down more at my feet than off into the clouds.
Oh, that's the one thing I do well.
If you see a red purse, it has little drama masks on it.
Jude, how much stuff did you bring?
You should see my stowaway bag.
No, I can't buy anything.
What?
Just something to eat from the counter.
Oh, um,
I have money.
Really?
I wouldn't want to impose.
Sounds like the gentleman wants to buy a gift for the lady.
What would she like?
Oh, yeah, uh, I was.
Don't worry, mate.
Got you covered.
Well, okay, if you're sure.
Just something small.
Um, how about a bag of Starbursts?
Sure, a dollar fifty-nine.
What are those?
The candy?
My aunt doesn't let me have sweets.
Does this count?
You're joking, right?
Well, your aunt isn't here.
We can eat whatever we want.
You know they don't sell candy at camp, right?
Seriously?
Oh, we gotta stock up now.
Oh my.
You sure are gonna be popular.
This way, no one says up here.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Did you really have to buy that match?
Two weeks!
I have to make it last 14 days!
I think you have a problem.
You're a problem now, too.
I'm afraid.
You should be.
Okay, here goes.
Pink's the best.
Oh my god.
So good!
My aunt would die if she knew what I was eating.
Where are you from?
Is that rude?
No, of course not.
I get asked all the time.
Sorry.
But now I live with my Aunt Beverly in Los Angeles, so my accent's changed a bit.
Oh, it's your first time at camp, too?
No, third summer.
I'm a chameleon now.
I just blend right in.
The polymarts really stand out.
Oh dear.
Yes, you do.
Uh but don't worry.
Everyone feels the same way at first and I promise you'll like it.
I didn't know girls.
I didn't know girls went to this camp.
Well we have our own campsite, one cove over,
but we're still all adventure scouts.
Right.
Is that all you have?
Candy and a notepad?
Uh what else do you mean?
Who are you writing to?
Your mum.
Yeah, I I said I'd write every day.
You gonna write about me?
You?
No, I mean...
I don't even know your name.
Ruby.
Like my red hair.
Just a coincidence.
I was born blonde.
My aunt may be fussy about what I eat, but not much else.
Oh, okay.
And?
And what?
And what is your name?
Oh, uh, right.
Um, Franklin.
You sure?
Franklin L.
Devon.
Wait, what?
It's on your back, silly.
I read it earlier.
Wanted to ask anyway.
What's the L stand for?
Oh,
just some dumb family name.
Don't ask.
No, I really want to know.
You'll have to torture it out of me.
Challenge accepted.
I'll start with taking your sweets.
One piece at a time.
It's not gonna last you two weeks now.
Ruby right.
Please report to the first deck.
Ruby right.
Oh my.
I hope everything's okay.
Be right back.
Okay.
Mom,
I'm in love.
I met a friend.
She's nice.
Good hair.
Okay.
Camp may not be
so terrible after all.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've arrived at our first destination.
Two harbors on beautiful Catalina Island.
Please stand clear of the exits until we have completely docked.
If you're heading to Avalon, stay on board and we'll continue on to our next stop.
Catalina is a lot bigger than I thought.
It looks so small from the shore.
We still have to take a bus from here.
I'm not sure how long that'll be.
Huh?
Look what they found.
My purse.
Purse?
Oh, your wallet.
Now I can return the favor for all those treats.
Maybe on the way home.
It's a date.
Wait.
What'd she say?
We have paddling the boat tours, fishing tours, AED tours, wine tours, and more.
There's so much going on in two harbors.
It's like a whole little city.
They say Avalon down the coast is a lot bigger.
I wonder what it is.
Franklin, are you going to write in that the whole time?
Or are you going to enjoy yourself?
Ruby!
Comed?
Please tell me I'm in your cabin again.
I may work something out.
Yes!
Who's your boyfriend?
What?
Very funny.
This is Franklin.
Met him on the ferry.
It's his first time.
Gotcha.
Come on, Francis.
It's uh, Franklin.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll show you to your bus.
Ruby, you're on this one.
Bye.
See you around.
Later.
Gator.
Come on, Sinatra.
Your bus is over here.
Hey, Carmen.
Lucas.
A little birdie told me you aren't going out with anyone.
So?
Just so you know, I'm still available.
Big surprise.
Well, if you're ever looking for a good time, Lucas is waiting for you.
Ugh, gross.
Play off the manga.
It's messing with your brain.
Not a chance.
See you later, Carmen.
Okay, Captain of Camp.
Oh, Carmen, Carmen.
Looking grumpy as usual, I see.
Oh, Blaine.
Acting like a clown as usual, I see.
They seem to like it.
Whatever.
You'd better put that flag back up on the bus before Gus kills you.
Gus won't care.
He and I are tight.
Really?
Because he looks like he's about to tear your new one.
Who's Gus?
Blaine.
That's Gus.
Get your skinny ass off my bus.
I just had it cleaned.
Ah, she never looked better.
Boy, you better be talking about the bus.
Nice to see you again, Carmen.
Be on the bus in two minutes, Blaine, where I'm leaving you here.
Okay, okay.
Who's your friend, Carmen?
He's just some new kid.
I'm Franklin.
Make sure he knows where to go.
Can't tell me what to do.
Actually, I'm a troop leader this year, so yeah, I can.
See you around, Captain.
Hey, Carmen.
I want to meet at that spot, you know.
I want my doctor's cove.
For old time's sake.
No.
Ah, nothing like a powerful woman.
You know what I mean, Frankie?
Um.
Come on.
I'll introduce you to the gang.
So, you and Carmen.
Let's just say
we have some history.
Everybody, this is Frankie.
He's new.
Don't freak him out.
Especially you, Lucas.
Keep that weird shit to yourself.
You unsophisticated, you just don't get it.
These are the twins, Hunter and Harrison.
Hi!
Don't worry about telling them apart.
No one can.
Everyone can.
Except you, Blaine.
Yeah.
Right.
And this is Bobby.
Most of the guys seem pretty nice and cool, but it was so many names and faces.
I'd forgotten them almost as soon as I heard them.
Okay, okay.
And here's Connor, Owen, and...
What's your name again?
John.
Maybe we'll be in the same cabin.
That'll be fun.
Of course.
My boy Johnny.
Hey, who made it out of this trailer park to get to camp.
What did you say?
Oh no.
He's on this bus.
You know they don't take food stamps at camp, right?
Nice one.
Oh, look, and he's babysitting the widow baby Joe.
Hold my pet, Frankie.
Oh, uh, are you okay?
Oh, I'm fine.
This douche won't be.
What did you call me?
Muffin.
Douche.
I'm gonna mess you up.
Bring it, big head.
Hey!
Sit your asses down!
This isn't over.
Obviously.
What a trick.
Chase?
Yep.
Biggest idiot at camp.
His older brother Pierce is the second biggest.
Really?
Worse than him?
He's had it out for me since I got on the ferry.
Don't worry about them.
So what have you got?
What?
You know, contraband, booty, swag.
The camp system runs on a legal currency.
The system?
Yep, and I'm sort of the best at working it, so what you bring?
Uh I have $3.48
left.
That's not going to help.
But
that will.
The spy bought walkie talkies that my mom gave me?
Nah.
Although those might come in handy for some late-night shenanigans.
That.
The candy?
Oh, yes, indeed.
Better than money.
Keep it secret.
Keep it safe.
I can tie this extra tight.
Hey, that's a good clove hitch.
Sure, you've never been a camp before?
This is at least a thing I can do.
There's only one bag I can get this summer.
Nah, you'll get more.
I'll see to that.
Just stick with me, Frankie.
Got a feeling it's going to be one heck of a summer.
go ahead and find those signs.
And the bad thing was.
Nah, the girls' camp isn't here, but it's not hard to get to.
You've been there?
Oh, yeah.
Welcome, Scout.
Watch it!
Stepped on my foot!
Oh, sorry.
Did I scare you?
You think?
Hey, Joe.
Blaine.
That 80s vulture suit never gets uncreepy.
Frankie, meet Joe, our most fearless, enthusiastic scout leader.
It's Frank Glynn.
Yes, you're a polywog.
Franklin, you are just going to have the most amazing time here at Camp Emerald Bay.
That's Pierce.
Remember Chase's idiot brother that I was telling you about?
Um...
Get your head back on.
There are scouts here.
Exactly, Pierce.
So why not watch the language?
I'm sorry, Vern.
Were you the first one to earn the Dragon Scout's talent last summer?
No.
No.
Golden Boy, you finally lost this time.
So, does that make you the Venture Master this year?
No.
That's right.
I'm in charge now, and you don't get to tell me what to do anymore.
You're Vern the Vulture, and I'm Venture Master, so I'll be using whatever fucking language I like.
Pierce!
Watch your tongue!
Just just put your head back on, bird.
Remember, I'm in charge until Director Kim gets back from Avalon.
You all have to listen to me.
Now, I've got more important things to do.
Valerie!
Hey!
Where'd you go?
So, what are we gonna do now?
Well, scouts, onward towards friendship, towards adventure, but mainly towards the main hall.
That way,
there's a lot here.
You okay, dude?
Yeah, I'm cool.
Yeah,
real cool.
Franklin Hat.
Found by Lucas.
Dang, him again.
Sax here.
Hey, Lucas, save us a seat.
I'm gonna go retrieve the brainiac.
Sure.
Harrison, hunter, way up.
Uh,
Frankie, stick with me.
Oh, great.
Yeah, he's super smart, like.
The smartest person you'll ever meet.
And he's super rich.
He gave you that?
We spent a couple summers in the same cabin.
We're like two amigos.
Last year he invited me to stay at his parents' summer home in Avalon after camp ended.
They are loaded.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, bye, baby.
Spilled
Harve, do we bring the bottle of latour?
Jesus, Mindy.
Come on, Captain.
This is back to two harbors.
Right away, sir.
Zaki!
Zaki!
Don't forget your extra soap screen.
It's in my pack, Pilar.
Thank you.
And you have everything you need.
Your uniform, your boops.
Yes, Pilar, I have everything.
Adios, Miho.
I'll miss you, Michikito.
Adios Yaya.
Try parachuting in next time.
A mega yacht wasn't flashy enough.
Great idea.
Or maybe a jetpack.
That would actually be awesome.
Who's this?
Oh, yeah, Zach.
Meet Frankie.
Hi.
New kid.
Tons of candy.
Ah, I see why Blaine likes you.
That, and he's cool.
And Carmen seems to like him.
Carmen again?
Oh, yeah.
And she's cuter than ever.
Statistically speaking, your chances with her this summer are slim to none.
Good thing I don't know nothing about statistics.
Venture camp is a special place where scout seeds are planted, sown, and grown into lifelong friendships.
How old is this video?
They play it every year.
When?
I still can't believe they made Pierce the Venture Master, not Joe.
What a burn.
You only lost by one event.
Joe's like Mr.
Summer, and Pierce is like Mr.
Bummer.
When you're here, you're not just scouts or even friends.
You are family.
And now your beloved Venture Master will valiantly lead you all into a summer of fantastic adventure.
Scouts, Venture Ho!
Woo!
Go burn!
Yeah, Joe!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Venture ho!
Anyway, my new assistant, Valerie, will lead troop selection this year.
What?
The lifeguard?
Pierce, I already assigned those.
She's not the lifeguard anymore.
I promoted her.
And I told her she could do it.
Seriously?
I spent a whole week on this.
Uh, uh, uh, get your head on.
And yeah, that's a shame.
Go ahead, babe.
Okay,
in the spirit of harmony and self-expression, you guys can all pick your own troops this year.
This is absurd.
Well, that's different.
Who cares?
We gotta pick our own troops.
This is awesome.
Woo!
Go, Valerie.
So we can all be together?
Yeah, well, except for Lucas.
What?
Come on, Blaine.
Don't be like that.
I thought we were Becky.
He's probably just messing with you.
Nope.
Yeah, sorry.
This is so not cool.
Don't worry.
He has his anime friends to keep him company.
Good one.
But we're all in, right?
Scout rule number eight: always stick with your troop.
Boys, don't forget to pick your troop name from the big list over there.
First, come, first, first.
Dude, let's go.
Oh, Oh, but we're on jack rabbits!
No, hunter.
Warthogs!
Can we get it?
Here's a- no.
Okay, the twins aren't choosing.
Um, how about scorpions?
I like it!
Me too!
Yeah!
Eh, whatever.
Ugh!
It's like a spider, but way cooler.
Actually, scorpions are arthropods.
Scorpions!
And I lack the chant.
You guys ready?
Scorpions!
Scorpions!
Sing!
Excellent choice, guys.
Here's the flag.
Don't let it out of your sight.
I'll take that.
Hang tight for a minute, boys.
I'll find out your cabin assignments.
Mom, we're the scorpions.
A real troop with a cool name.
A tier.
A flag and everything.
And I'm pretty sure I made two real friends.
Okay.
Since it seems I have to reassign all the troop cabins, we are going to start activity time early.
Science Lab, please be science lab.
Please be the lawyer.
What's that?
Live ammo range, rifle reandery.
A hike?
Crap.
Fun.
Wait, what's wrong with the hike?
Boring.
Exhausting.
Franklin's got the right idea.
Boys, go find Chase.
He'll be your troop leader.
And then everybody meet by the totem pole.
What?
Come on, Joe.
Anyone but Chase.
Sorry, boys.
Pierce assigned the leaders.
He's an imbecile like his brother.
And a fat head is sadistic nightmare.
Do you mean the jerk from the bus?
Boys, boys, that is not scoutly behavior.
And speaking of the devil, here he is, your illustrious troop leader.
They're all yours, Chase.
This will be fun.
On it, boys.
I don't know.
It sounded serious.
Emergency services is on the phone now.
Huh?
Um, I'm gonna go check on something.
Here, you can be in charge of the trail maps, Franklin.
Stick to the paths.
Have fun, boys.
Did Jesus just hear all that?
I'll take that flag.
Moo.
Oh boy.
I swear I packed this big punch.
I'm dang it.
Oh, that's not a bad thing.
That's what I had done, too.
Oh, my baby.
Alright.
Scout rule number one.
Honesty and honor above all.
Scout rule number two.
Safety fur.
These are all useless.
Chase rule number one.
Listen to every word I say, and if you don't, I will be your worst nightmare.
Check your crap.
You'll learn all the other rules on the hike.
Let's go.
Does anyone have any extra sunscreen?
Actually, uh, I do.
Night sack.
Whoa!
Wait, you brought fireworks?
Shit.
Told ya.
I'm the king of contrabran.
You know, fireworks cause an average of 18,000 fires each year?
And Catalina is prone to fires.
Don't worry, we'll shoot him out over the water.
I said get a move on.
Nerd!
Nice one.
Watch where you're going.
Make me.
This is my group, and I can do whatever I want.
This is a gross abuse of power.
This is bullshit, and we won't stand for it.
Yeah!
Better watch what you say.
Remember, Pierce is in charge this year.
I don't care if your brother is venture master.
He doesn't deserve it.
Pierce should talk.
You guys know Blaine is this year's charity case, right?
You gave him the poor kid scholarship.
You might cut guys, Scott!
Come on, we're gonna get in trouble!
I don't really know how it happened.
It was all so fast, but
don't freak out along.
I kinda
got him in my first fight.
Hey, get off of him!
Looking to join the fight, noob.
Well, get him there!
Don't push him!
And
drop my first black eye.
What happened?
Chase, what the heck, man?
What is wrong with you, Chase?
Screw this shit.
You three go see my brother in the main office.
You're out of my troop.
You can't be serious.
You started it.
Yeah.
Actually, I would very much like to go to the office and see the director right now to discuss your egregious lack of leadership skills.
Shut up!
Hey, Valerie!
Yeah, what's up?
Take these jerks to see my brother.
They're out of my troop.
Kick him out of camp if you want.
You can't do that.
And what they do?
Fighting.
Or like defending.
Whatever.
Come on, boys.
You haven't seen the last of us.
Whatever, nerds.
What are we supposed to do now?
Told you, we're going on a hike.
But that new kid has the trail maps.
They don't need the stupid trail maps.
I know the way.
Follow me and try to keep up, losers.
What are we gonna do?
I wanna go on a hike.
We're alive.
We'll be right back after a quick word from our sponsor.
Did you see the game last night?
Of course you did, because you used Instacart to do your grocery restock.
Plus, you got snacks for the game, all without missing a single play.
And that's on multitasking.
So we're not saying that Instacart is a hack for game day, but it might be the ultimate play this football season.
Enjoy $0 delivery fees on your first three orders.
Service fees apply.
For three orders in 14 days.
Excludes restaurants.
Instacart, we're here.
And now, back to the show.
This way, boys, we're almost there.
So, what are we gonna do?
Don't worry.
We'll get him back for this.
How?
I'll come up with something.
Thanks for jumping in back there anyway.
Yeah, that was that was pretty cool.
Don't look.
Don't mention it.
Does it hurt?
Not too much.
Really?
Cause it looks like it hurts.
Well,
just think of it as a rite of passage.
Into what?
Our gang.
Yeah, welcome.
What are you doing?
We need to get everyone ready for evacuation.
I don't want to hear it, Joe.
This is just a drill.
Pierce, I'm telling you, it's not just a drill.
Gus is bringing the bus back right now.
This safety job has gone to your head.
Do I need to remind you who's in charge?
Something's going on in Avalon.
That's like 30 miles away from here on the other end of the island.
Even if it is, we're fine.
My girlfriend Zoe lives there.
She always answers her phone, and I can't get in touch with her.
This is real.
Well, you know, your girlfriend probably just doesn't want to talk to you.
He has a girlfriend?
Good one, Val.
This isn't a joke.
They're in danger.
Pierce, you need to get everyone ready.
Wait, boys?
You're not on the hike?
Chase punched me.
Chase is lacking.
I started it.
Okay, Valerie, what is going on here?
Uh, they were fighting or something.
Damn it.
It hasn't even been three hours and this camp is falling apart.
I'm gonna go find the other scorpions and round up all the rest of the campers.
Pierce, I know we don't always get along, but please do not ignore this.
Get the kids on the buses and evacuate the camp.
Evacuate?
We have to leave.
We just got here.
I need to run and get them back from the trails.
Boys, stay with Pierce.
I just hope Zoe's okay.
Hey, you forgot your head!
What am I supposed to do with you three?
I would like to formally file a complaint.
Uh, uh-huh, like that's gonna happen.
We have more important things to do than babysit a bunch of polywogs.
Babysit!
Whatever.
Just sit in the director's office and think about what you've done, okay?
I can't deal with this right now.
What we've done?
Seriously?
Should we be evacuating Joe said?
Yeah, like maybe the kid's right.
Joe seemed really worried.
We are not listening to Joe.
He is not Venture Master anymore.
I am.
I said it's just a drill, so that's what it is.
We're not gonna cause a panic.
Now, you boys, get in there and stay.
This is ridiculous.
No one ever listens to us.
Yeah, no kidding.
I
just wanted to help.
Well, this is just an awesome start start to camp
never been in trouble before another right of passage my boy.
Fear not.
We'll get out of this.
Uh
should you be going through that stuff?
I mean, isn't that the camp director's desk?
It's called making the best out of a bad situation.
Let's see what we have here.
Hmm.
Might come in handy.
What are you doing, Zach?
Got something.
Emergency broadcast assistant.
A full island
Whoa, we should be evacuating.
Please safely make your way to the nearest departure site.
What's going on?
The current status of the situation is this is not a drill.
Enact all sanctioned emergency protocols calmly and safely.
Proceed to your nearest evacuation point to board.
Forget that.
Run.
Run.
Unknown.
Unknown?
Seriously?
Thank you for utilizing the Catalina Island Emergency Broadcast System.
This message, repeat.
What the hell, Pierce?
That a-horse.
We cannot be silenced.
The people need to know.
Wait, what if that's fake?
Like a prank?
Sounds like something you might tribal?
Even I'm not that good.
I'll keep searching for other frequencies, but someone else would be talking about this.
Is this the Cat PA?
Yeah, I think so.
What was Pierce thinking when he left us in here with all this equipment?
That we wouldn't touch it.
Just goes to show what he doesn't know.
How do I get this microphone on?
Anyone there?
Joe?
Here?
Hello?
This is Zach.
Zach?
Who the hell are you?
And why wasn't anyone answering?
I'm gonna be there in like three minutes.
Then we gotta go.
I'm a scout.
I got six people on the bus already from the girls' camp, and now we gotta pack more kids on.
What have you been doing?
Uh.
Just get everyone ready.
Oh, shit.
It is real.
Hello?
Hello?
We've got to tell the camp.
Zach, help me get this PA system working.
Let me see.
You got it.
Blaine, are you Shawshanking this?
Yes, I am.
My mom wouldn't let me watch that movie.
Attention, scouts!
This is an emergency.
Get to the bus stop now!
As quickly and safely as you can.
Oh my god.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you guys doing?
Pierce, what'd they do?
The people have a right to know.
Oh, now you're really in trouble.
What the hell is that?
Oh my god.
Goss.
Do you ever hear that?
What?
The bus horn.
Grab your backpacks.
Hurry.
What?
What do we do?
I don't know.
The bus!
It's swerving all over the place.
Stop!
Stop!
Trying to crash into the water!
It's not stopping!
Get out of the way!
Oh my gosh!
Holy shit!
Did you see that?
That was insane.
Are they okay?
Dude, stay out of the water.
Valerie, swim out to see if they're okay.
Or if anyone needs any help.
Are you kidding me?
You're the lifeguard.
Former lifeguard.
Get in the water, Valerie.
Fine.
Gus!
Gus, are you?
Oh,

He's okay.
He's okay, everybody.
Oh, this is bad.
Gus, are you okay?
Anything wrong with her?
He bit her.
Oh my god, Valerie!
Holy shit!
What's he doing to her?
He's dragging her under!
Valerie!
What is wrong with them?
It's an outbreak.
The sick are attacking.
Why?
I don't know.
I think they're all.
You gotta be.
Lee.
Zombie rules.
Super Scout says, don't let them touch you.
And run!
Everybody get away from the water!
Run!
Run!
of the way!
This is fucking insane.
I know.
What are we gonna do?
I can't believe it.
I can't believe it's a real zombie apocalypse.
You're kidding!
You're kidding, right?
Oh, God, this is real.
We need to get out of here.
Okay, think.
Think.
We need to get out of the main camp, away from people.
Connor?
Hey!
Get off of him!
He's one!
He's one of them!
A good scout!
Improvise him!
He was...
He was trying to bite me.
It's real.
It didn't work.
No.
Thanks to Blaine.
Wasn't enough.
Get enough!
Run!
Guys, where'd you go?
Wait!
Hey, watch out!
Get out of my way!
Wayne's dead!
Where are you?
Oh my god.
Oh my god, I hate camps.
This is crazy, man.
Bobby,

I'm going to die at camp in the bathroom, and I've only been here three hours.
Uh

Um

I'm a scout.
I'll polywalk too.
It's okay.
Oh my gosh.
I'm dying.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
I'm sorry, I didn't see you.
I put straw in your pack.
I'm sorry, Lucas.
Lucas?
Oh my god.
Get away from me.
I can't.
Franklin, get off me!
Franklin, it's Zach.
You're going the wrong way.
Is he sick?
He's not sick.
We've got to go.
Where'd you go?
Everyone is going crazy.
We know.
Where are we going?
The main road is filled with them.
We're trapped.
Turn around and head to the back of camp.
Do we have to?
This goes towards the totem pole.
Maybe we can find the rest of the scorpions.
Yes, they were on the hike.
They're probably fine.
Oh!
Watch out!
Wait.
Is that Lucas' comic book?
Is he okay?
No, they got him.
Don't look.
Trust me.
He wasn't on the hike with the troop, and we didn't let him in.
Lucas could have.
I know.
I know.
There it is.
The totem.
And look, there's Joe.
He's coming down the trail.
Joe.
Look out, boys.
There's one behind us.
My god.
Get down!
Boys!
Run!
Run!
As far as you can!
Away from here!
Go!
No!
No!
We can upper- No!
We can!
Way, no!
We have to keep going!
Let me go!
Just keep running!
We have to get as far away from him as we can!
Is Joe gonna gonna be okay?
I don't think so.
Just listen to what he said.
Run!
Come on, Blake.
Doe couldn't stop one.
I don't know who else could.
Whatever you do,
don't look back.
We're on our own.
