Story
Bart and Milhouse play video games in the arcade. When they run out of money, Jeremy Peterson makes them leave. At this time, Homer , resting at home, drops his last peanut on the sofa. Trying to get it, he finds $ 20. Realizing that you can buy a lot of peanuts for $ 20, he runs to the exit, but, slipping on a lost peanut, falls and loses a banknote. The banknote is picked up by the wind and carried out of the house. Money flies through the entire Springfield and falls right in front of Bart and Milhouse. They decide to buy Squishy on them without syrup in the Kwik-e-Mart store. Due to the large number of substitutes contained in Squishy, Bart and Milhouse become hyperactive and travel throughout the city.
The next day, Bart wakes up with a heavy hangover and discovers that on the eve he enrolled in a scout squad. He takes the scout uniform to school to return it. At a math lesson, Edna Krabappl decides to conduct a test, letting all the Boy Scouts go to their general meeting at the same time. Quickly disguised as a scout, Bart leaves the classroom. Bart did not like the first meeting with other scouts, but when he found out that the boy scouts were allowed to wear penknives , he decided to stay. After a while, Bart liked to be a scout, although Homer makes fun of him for it.
At the next meeting of the Boy Scouts, Ned Flanders announces that the weekend will be the "Annual trip on inflatable rafts of fathers and children." Bart tells Homer about this, and he agrees, although he really does not like it. The situation is compounded by the fact that Homer and Bart will ride on the same raft with Ned and his son Rod , whom Homer hates. During the trip, Homer lost the map, and because of this, the raft turns in the wrong direction and ends up in the open sea . Due to Homer's actions (for example, he washed his socks with drinking water, accidentally knocked out an airplane flying past from a flare gun, and also ate almost all food supplies) the situation is getting worse and worse every day. At this time, the worried Marge is trying to organize a search for her son and husband, but Chef Wiggum refuses to do anything, explaining his refusal by the fact that he already has too many things to do. A few days later, on the raft, Homer gives Bart a Swiss knife that he stole from Borgnine , but because of weakness he drops the knife on an inflatable raft, and it gives a leak. At this moment, Homer sniffed fresh crusty burgers, everyone rowed in the direction indicated by Homer and swam to the oil platform on which one of the Krusty fast-food restaurants is located. After Homer saved everyone, Bart is proud of his father.
