You have your orders.

Use the orienteering

and path-finding skills

that you've been

practicing all summer.

Let's find our man,

bring him safely back to camp.

Remember, this isn't

just a search party,

it's a chance to do

some first class Scouting.

Any questions?

Lazy-Eye?

What's your real job, sir?

- I'm a math teacher. Why?

- What grade?

- Eighth.

- You need a PhD for that?

Lazy-Eye, no,

but you know what,

we're actually in the middle of something

here, in case you didn't notice.

One of our Scouts is missing

and that's a crisis.

Anybody else? Redford?

What if he resists?

- Who?

- Shakusky.

Are we allowed to

use force on him?

No, you're not.

This is a non-violent, rescue operation.

Your mission is to find him,

not to hurt him under any circumstances.

Am I making myself understood?

- Yes.

- Good.

I'm going to change my answer,

in fact, this is my real job.

Scout Master Troop 55.

I'm a math teacher on the side.

Be leery out there. Okay?

Now let's get started.

Who's got Snoopy?

Right here.

Give him the scent.

I heard he ran away

because his family died.

I heard he

never had any family in the first place.

That's probably why he's crazy.

I'll tell you one thing,

if we find him, I'm not going to be the

one who forgot to bring a weapon.

Me, neither.

Camp Ivanhoe, that's all the way

across the other side of the island.

You really think

a 12-year-old boy

could row this far

in a miniature canoe?

Most likely not.

It is possible, Counselor.

I disagree, Counselor.

It would take him three days, at least.

I don't think so.

Two days, maximum.

- Well, I'm not going to argue about it.

- Be that as it may,

- will you let me know if you see anything unusual?

- Yup.

Scout Master's log,

September 2nd.

First day of search

party for Sam Shakusky

Morale is extremely low,

in part, I suppose,

because Sam is

the least popular Scout in the troop.

By a significant margin.

I'm confused and I'm worried.

Please let us

find him tomorrow.

Please don't let

him fall off a cliff,

or drown in the goddamn

lake or something.

A terrible day at Camp Ivanhoe.

Let's hope tomorrow's better.

One Year earlier

What kind of bird are you?

I'm a sparrow, she's a dove...

No. I said,

what kind of bird are you?

I'm a raven.

Boys aren't allowed in here.

I'll be leaving soon.

What happened to your hand?

I got hit in the mirror.

Really, how did that happen?

I lost my temper at myself.

What's your name?

Sam. What's yours?

I'm Suzy.

It's not polite to stare.

- Birds, ready?

- Who are you?

Where did you come from?

Go back to your seat.

He likes you.

Were you followed?

- I doubt it.

- Good.

Is that a cat in there?
