On Snoopy's first hike he gets lost in the woods and is rescued by Loretta, a scruffy looking girl scout selling cookies. When Snoopy comes back home Lucy calls him a disgrace to the Beagle Scouts and when Charlie Brown asks him about his compass skills Snoopy admits he thought N meant "nowhere". Snoopy's bird friends first join him as Beagle Scouts in the strip from June 9, 1974.
