Plot[]
Cricket is so excited to go camping and practised her march routine. Inside Butterbean's Café, Dazzle asked Poppy if she got the cinnamon bagels and the latter brought them fresh from the kitchen. Cookie cried and Poppy flew one in the air so she can gobble it up, whiles she packages the rest. Cricket came in before her big sister and shared her excitement about camping with them. Dazzle bought into it and Poppy says; "It's fun!" As Butterbean went to put on her worksuit, Mrs. Dunlop came in and Cricket made her know she was ready, referring to herself as Puddlescout Cricket. Butterbean heard her say what was left was a camping snack, so after taking her bean screen, she told her what she thinks is the perfect snack: trail mix. Connecting the bean screen to the beanitor, she showed her how they'll make it. Mrs. Dunlop expressed her love for it and reminded Cricket of her sleeping bag. After she left, Cricket asked what she needed it for; her big sister replied that it's for sleeping, referring to her as a silly bean. he asked another question whether camping is a sleepover outside. Butterbean replied that she'll be in a tent which will be outside in the woods. Dazzle referred to it as a real adventure when she asked if it's at nighttime. In her first interaction with the viewer(s), her mood went in sharp contrast and expressed her thoughts on not going anymore.
Butterbean came to the kitchen to commend Poppy, who was mixing batter, on some already-served salads, remind her of a sandwich order and if she had everything for the trailmix. She mentioned the ingredients and leaves out one – raisins. She asked Jasper where it was and in live evidence, he has it. He takes a bite before handing out the rest to her to the girls' amusements. They made the trailmix accompanied by Let's Get Cooking!. Butterbean called out to Cricket as she brought it out to the main area. Dazzle heard and went close to tell her that she thinks she's at the rooftop. She found her there and asked her if she wants to try the trailmix, but she rather replied not to go camping anymore. She told her she didn't like it and Butterbean was sure she'd never tried it hence her answer, but also what she said about sleeping outside at night. She said she didn't know. Butterbean told her she needed a little practice and thinks she herself has an idea. Butterbean assured herself to the viewer(s) that her little sister might see there's nothing to be worried about if she practised camping a little bit.
Cricket was drawing when Butterbean called her upstairs and in the background, Dazzle served a customer an order of a bowl of soup and a smoothie. Cricket went up to the party room where she saw a tent at the center. After coming close, Butterbean welcome her to "Camp Cricket", promoting it as "the best campsite in the whole café". She repeated what she told the viewer(s) earlier, although she rather said she may like it more than she think. She went back inside and invited her to see it for herself. She came inside and said it looked like a little bedroom. Butterbean asked her if she wants to practise a little and she agreed. She lies down and Butterbean used her whisk to wrap cover around her, with the latter saying she's downstairs if she needed her. At the kitchen, she commended Jasper for washing the vegetables for her; Cricket called her in a fright tone and she came to the camp spot in giffy. When she called her, she responded that she heard something like a noise or sound. She was unsure as her big sister looked at her with a sorry look.
She told the viewer(s) Jasper is going to help Cricket get over her fear of strange noises whiles camping with the Puddlescouts. As Jasper came to the party room with a stick of leaves, Butterbean explained to her little sister that when she's camping in the woods, she might noises she doesn't recognize but there's nothing to worry about. The former called out to Jasper and he shook the leaves. Cricket told Butterbean if she heard it and she asked her what it was after answering positively. Cricket responded it was leaves and Jasper showed them to her. He asked what of this as he flew around the tent. She said it was the wind and Butterbean agreed. Cricket laughed and told him he can stop, relieving him. She asked her big sister about animal sounds, which Jasper heard and mooed. She initially startled and then laughed saying it was a cow. Jasper showed his face to them and mooed again; Cricket told him it was just silly. Butterbean asked her if she wants to practise some more without them and she agreed. The former and Jasper headed down the stairs, but Cricket called the former back. She pointed to the shadow when she asked her what's wrong. Butterbean showed Cookie to her and she came to her meowing. Butterbean told her shadows can look a little spooky at times, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Cricket told her to stay and practise with her. Butterbean told her the next practice is to turn off the lights; Cricket objects it will be dark. The former told her to hang on as she took a flashlight and gave it to Cookie to give to her. She told her how to use it and asked her if she was ready. She said yes and the lights were off, causing her to scream. Butterbean laughed and told her to turn it on and she did. Cricket showed it around and to the screen. Butterbean giggled and said to the viewer(s) her little sister was starting to like camping.
At the café's main area, Mrs. Dunlop and the Puddlescouts came in and Dazzle showed them the trailmix was ready. She appreciated but said they have changed plans. Cricket came in raring to go, but Mrs. Dunlop delivered the bad news. Cricket asked why and she replied she thinks the scout is not ready, with two of saying what Cricket either said or demonstrated earlier in the episode. Cricket told it was Butterbean who showed her it was a lot of fun. She whispered an idea to her and she agreed. The idea was told by her to Mrs Dunlop to let them to camp up in the party room for practice. Mrs Dunlop then asked the puddlescouts if they want to go camping and they agreed. Cricket told them to follow her and so they did, up to the party room.
Cricket showed them the tent, Mrs. Dunlop got delighted and so was the puddlescouts who rushed inside. Mrs. Dunlop saluted her to make her giggle and Butterbean came in with the trailmix. She called them out to give them to them. Butterbean called them out to share them among them. She told her little sister to turn off the lights, which she did, so she could remove firefly bean from her pocket to do the fairy finish on the trailmix to make them glow and fly. She giggled at the awe of the puddlescouts. Mrs. Dunlop didn't know trailmix could get even better. The next minutes, the puddlescouts found themselves in the tent laughing, when they heard Jasper mooing. Cricket told them to listen as she heard an animal. Jasper mooed again and they laughed. As Mrs. Dunlop did animal shadows, Butterbean encouraged viewer(s) to end the episode that though new experiences can be a little scary, they can be really fun and that trying them with friends is a recipe for happy campers.
