"THE 7 SCOUTS…AND THE MYSTERY OF THE COMMIE SPIES" is an electrifying, action-
comedy where a group of teens from diverse backgrounds and social economics,
each with specialized skills, team up to form their own investigation/detective
agency under the guise of a Boy Scout Troop with a down on his luck detention hall
monitor as their mentor, with hopes of stopping nefarious “RUSSIANS and former
SOVIET-BLOC OPERATIVES” from carrying out their plans, when the local police
won’t take them seriously.
Through their interaction for the common good, the teens—former rivals—learn to
work together, understand their differences and discover ways in which to initiate,
interact, adapt, improvise and overcome, in order to accomplish their ultimate
goal—bring down “the commies.”
MEET THE KIDS:
TEAM LEADER – nicknamed CLOONEY. His killer smile and charming personality tend
to convince his adoring public to overlook the myriad of cons he’s perfected
through the years and continues to pull off. He has an eidetic photographic
memory, and has an intimate knowledge of television and films, whose scenes and
dialogue are often used as conversation tools.
SCIENTIST AND COMPUTER GEEK - nicknamed CSI. Funds winding up in the bank
account of a local orphanage and traced back to the school principal, necessitated
a visit from the FBI by the age of ten, and earned him the honor of being known as
a top hacker. He is a chemist—school bullies’ lockers have been known to
mysteriously and spontaneously melt down or combust—and has a keen interest in
forensic science, often seen Zip-Locking paper cups, Scotch-Taping fingerprints,
and studying DNA makeup—a regular CSI Forensic Scientist. He and BRUCE are the
smallest of the group, with CSI being by far the smallest, skinniest and least
intimidating.
MARTIAL ARTIST – nicknamed BRUCE. Skilled in the art of meditation and discipline,
he is a natural and a black belt in five martial arts. A gymnast—by the age of three,
he could mount and dismount a parallel bar to perfection. He has a big heart with
a step in to save-the-day Lone Ranger complex. He’s super confident in doing what’
s right and his abilities, but not always his size and stature.
JOCK/STRAIGHT ARROW – nicknamed ARROW. Raised by June and Ward Cleaver-
type parents, he’s bred and ingrained with a high moral code and fiber. He doesn’t
break or even bend the rules. His penchant for discipline aids him to excel in
sports—he’s an All American. He only sees black and white. He’s the only official
Boy Scout having attained his Eagle Scout.
MAGICIAN – nicknamed BLACKSTONE. Quick hands, good reflexes and agile bones
aid his ability to slip in and out of locked locations. He’s also a master at disguises
and an escape artist. He unwillingly contributes props to CLOONEY’s heartbreaking.
HOT GIRL – nicknamed LEGS. Lacking in attention from a father who is dating a
younger woman, her quick fingers perfected the art of sliding in and out of his
pockets for extra cash—all while wearing a smile, causing her to be regarded as the
slipperiest pick pocket around. A bit complex, she’s a grifter, with a penchant for
hacking, and also an A-student. She’s the only member who possesses the other
team’s skills, often rivaling their expertise.
MILITARY GUY – a late entry to the 7-Scouts nicknamed, RAMBO. Believes his father
was an AWOL deserter, so he strives to be everything his father wasn’t. He emails
letters to famous military men such as Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf and
former soldiers/sailors turned actors that make military films such as Chuck Norris
and Jesse Ventura. He loves weapons (new, old, Asian and tribal) and explosives
and trains himself in strategy, tactics, reconnaissance, outdoor and survival skills.
His real name is John James and combined with his penchant for all things military
gets the nickname “Rambo.” He is obsessed with military films and quotes lines
from them, especially Jesse Ventura in Predator.
ENGINE GUY – another late entry to the 7-Scouts nicknamed, MOTOR-HEAD. Often
seen working under the hood of his pride and joy, a Chevelle SS. Somewhat of a
gadget man—though he keeps that nerdy side private, due to running the risk of
ruining his redneck tough guy persona. He also works part-time at high
performance automobile shop, and a motorcycle and go-cart store, thus giving him
“unofficial” access to the vehicles. Later, he becomes 7-Scouts team Armorer and
Quartermaster.
