substituted.
A Scout and Guide try
to hide the fact from
their friends that theyre
in the Movement.
Having nothing better to

great time, so proving to
the Scout and Guide
they dont have to keep
it a secret but stand
proud.
Lilting solo or duet introtype song to a
'Stars/Space Theme'

Trail of disaster when

over the top of cast
singing chorus.
A group of girls are not
so happy with their idea
of going on a hike. Fed
up and wet, they just
want to go home, but
Rebecca has other

Four 'musicians' meet to

for trotting out a host of
very bad musical jokes.
