Grandpa teaches everyone the Scouts motto he still remembers, which says that Big City Scouts are always able to solve problems without asking for help. But the Scouts soon find that figuring out how to pitch a tent, make a fire, and find their way through the woods is tough to do by themselves. In fact, not asking for help isn't working at all Luckily for the Scouts, someone unexpected comes along to set them all straight about what the motto _really_ says: Scouts have the courage to ask for help and work together.
