Snow Scouts

The Snow Scouts are a fictional organisation in the childrens series, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. They appear in books the tenth and eleventh, The Slippery Slope and The Grim Grotto.

Count Olaf captures most of the Snow Scouts at the end of The Slippery Slope. Quigley Quagmire is disguised as a member to reach Mount Fraught in secret during their annual ceremony, but departs the group before they are snared.

Known Members

 * Uncle Bruce - Leader and Carmelita's uncle
 * Carmelita Spats - False Spring Queen (she wasn't captured by Olaf, but she joined his troupe anyway)
 * At least one of the Kornbluth children
 * At least one of the Winnipeg children

Pledge
The Snow Scouts also have a pledge called the Snow Scout Alphabet Pledge:

Snow Scouts are accomodating, basic, calm, daring, emblematic, frisky, grinning, human, innocent, jumping, kept, limited, meek, nap-loving, official, pretty, quarantined, recent, scheduled, tidy, understandable, victorious, wholesome, xylophone, young and zippered - every morning, every afternoon, every night and all day long!

After saying this pledge, they snow scouts make "a snowy sound." Klaus, Violet and, later on, Sunny, noticed it is reasonably difficult to imagine how a person could be "calm" and "meek" at the same time as being "frisky" and "jumping", how they could avoid being "young" and "human" or why "xylophone" appeared in the list at all but they were just glad to have gotten away from the Snow Gnats.

Clothing
Their emblem is the snowflake which they wear upon their bright white uniforms with zippers and the words of the above pledge imprinted in pink letters on the front. At the top of each of their headbands, they have small plastic snowflakes sticking out in all directions and thre word "Brr!" written in icy script.

Storyline
In book the tenth, 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. We see them later in book the eleventh, The Grim Grotto, where they were forced to work for Olaf on his submarine.
