PLEDGE The Snow Scouts also have a Pledge called the "Snow Scout Alphabet Pledge:"
After saying this pledge, the snow scouts make "a snowy sound." ) but they were just glad to have gotten away from the Snow Gnats . This ridiculously long pledge is a parody of the Scout Law : "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent." CLOTHING Their Emblem is the Snowflake which they wear upon their bright white uniforms with Zipper s and the words of the above Pledge imprinted in pink letters on the front. At the top of each of their Headband s, they have small Plastic Snowflake s sticking out in all directions and the word "Brr!" written in icy script. They also wear masks protecting them from the Snow Gnats, but also concealing their faces entirely. STORYLINE In the tenth book, '' The Slippery Slope '', they are on the Snow Scout Hike to the top of Mount Fraught to celebrate False Spring. Seeking shelter from the Snow Gnats, the Baudelaires discover them in a cave half-way up the mountain, and leave them again that night up the Vertical Flame Diversion . When the Snow Scouts reach the top of the mountain, they are captured by Count Olaf , Esmé Squalor and their troupe in a large net and taken away. According to the Man with a beard but no hair and the woman with hair but no beard, they and Olaf intend to burn down all their parents homes with the parents themselves still in it. Olaf then plans to seize control on all the fortunes left behind. We see some of them later in the eleventh book, '' The Grim Grotto '', where they were forced to work for Olaf on his submarine. It is revealed in the Penultimate Peril that the submarine was stolen by the hook-handed man and Fiona. It is assumed that the children were with them and were released or went through the same fate as Fiano and her brother as told in The End. It is unknown if Olaf and his associates ever actually burned their homes down and killed their parents and Lemony Snicket has yet to reveal anymore information on this aspect of the story. |
