That Mushy Stuff

Everyone knows that Roger White likes Patty Baker. Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's man. The Pee Wee Scouts tease Roger and Patty during their Scout meeting. Mrs. Peters is their troop leader. She tells the Pee Wee Scouts how to earn badges for first aid. Then she helps them make valentines that hold messages. Secret messages. Poems. All that mushy stuff.

"I want a boyfriend," says Molly Duff. "And I want a first-aid badge."

Busy, busy, busy. The Scouts work on valentines and first aid. Molly works on a secret plan.

Uh-oh. A certain Scout better watch out!
