*CONTENT WARNING* This episode features extremely strong language, including terms that are historically transphobic and ableist. Be advised.

If you've even been lost in the woods with two adults, five Boy Scouts, an infinite amount of coyotes and three bags of marshmallows, Troop 54 might hit too close to home. A comedy about find your way through the woods, will the scouts find their way back to base camp or will they fall into a cavern? I forgot to mention there's a cavern. Once described as "what did I just watch?" Troop 54 is an ab workout and a theatrical experience not to be missed!
