Hedgehog Scouts

Adventure

A Daring and… Prickly Series!

A group of young hedgehogs, a scout camp in the wildlands, and a coveted prize to win. Welcome to Chestnut Camp! An adventure only for those who truly have courage…

  • A hilarious series full of daring feats, unforgettable experiences, and a good dose of friendship.

  • Set in a small and cozy world, full of fun and quirky characters, like the Smurfs.

CHESTNUT CAMP

In a burrow in the Underside, between Tronchetto Street and Fogliasecca Street, lives young Hedgehog Pasticcio, a lively but somewhat clumsy little fellow who gets into all sorts of trouble. His parents, exasperated, don’t know what to do anymore, when suddenly a post pigeon delivers a summons from Chestnut Camp. It’s the chance to become a Hedgehog Scout!

READY… SPLASH!

Summer has arrived in the Wildlands, and the heat is unbearable. Molliccio the Hedgehog, disappointed and overheated, is suffering from a number of illnesses, including I-PER-I-DRO-SIS, which makes him drip all over the place. Things get worse when some young hedgehogs accidentally destroy the Great Hedgehog’s secret icehouse, causing him to fly into a rage and come up with a punishment: the hedgehogs must build a dam on Terror Creek. That way, he can have a nice cool bath…

IN A SEA OF TROUBLES

The hedgehogs at Chestnut Camp are languishing in the summer heat, waiting for the Great Hedgehog to assign them a new mission. But the lazy leader only wants to keep his team far away from the Golden Spike. The one who wins it must then take care of the Hedgehoglympics, and he wants no part of it! So, to distract his young hedgehogs, he organizes a trip to the beach, and the tasks assigned are ONLY: clean the beach, catalog all forms of life living between the rocks, and build a lifeguard tower… help, run for your lives!

BEYOND THE BARRIER!

In the Wildlands, summer is almost over, and not a single hedgehog at Chestnut Camp has earned enough points to win the coveted Golden Spike. However, the Hedgehog Scouts have already come up with a plan—actually, several plans, all of which have failed so far. Now, desperation has made them bold, and they’ve decided to go all in: they will cross the Barrier. Only the legendary Massive Hedgehog has ever accomplished this feat, and no one else has ever managed to match it…
