Character from DuckTales by Disney Television Animation
The globe-spanning youth adventure organization that gave Huey his merit badges, his guidebook, and his framework for making the chaotic world legible — founded, unknown to its members, by an adventurer the Guidebook is partly about.
The Junior Woodchucks are the DuckTales universe's Scouts — a youth organization built around outdoor skills, adventure preparedness, and the accumulated wisdom of their founding members. Their Guidebook is a remarkable document: a verified compendium of legendary locations, practical field procedures, and historical records that has proven accurate to an implausible degree. The founding of the Woodchucks by Isabella Finch — a legendary adventurer who also happens to be Bradford Buzzard's grandmother — is one of the 2017 series' most loaded ironies. The organization dedicated to adventure was founded by the grandmother of the man determined to destroy adventure. Bradford was their first member. The Guidebook he abandoned is the thing that keeps saving the family he's trying to stop.
Junior Woodchucks wear khaki uniforms with merit badge sashes and matching caps. Huey's uniform is red-accented; Violet's has significantly more badges. The Woodchucks' headquarters in various locations tend toward the organized-practical aesthetic of an organization that believes in preparation.
