Timber

The Timber Scouts are a boy's organization, very similar to Boy Scouts for younger students. There are several troops throughout the city in which Nate Wright lives. It is the later version of the Junior Woodchucks. It is mentioned in Big Nate On a Roll that Teddy and Francis joined the Timber Scouts before Nate, but since the novel universe is unparalleled to the comic strip universe, in the comics Nate, Teddy and Francis probably joined the Timber Scouts at the same time, when the Junior Woodchucks were renamed the Timber Scouts in 2010. There is debate about when the Junior Woodchucks were renamed the Timber Scouts. The last appearance of Nate as a Junior Woodchuck was on August 7, 2010, and the first time the Timber Scouts were mentioned was on December 9, 2010. However, in the first ever mention of the Timber Scouts, Chad said "...Last year's performance at our Timber Scout meeting..." Which was implying that the Timber Scouts had been around for a year before that. But that can't be true, as the last time the Junior Woodchucks were mentioned was only 4 months before. We only can say that Lincoln Peirce, the creator of Big Nate, made a mistake, and the Junior Woodchucks were renamed the Timber Scouts between August 7, 2010 and December 9, 2010.
