Alex Pearson (
The Bumble Bee troop has to work to be able to attend the Camporee, the most important Bumble Bee event of the year, by selling
Alex accidentally reveals himself when, during a muffin sale at the big hockey game, the coach wonders where Alex is as his suspension is over. Alex puts himself in, still disguised as Mrs. Zamboni, to win the game. However, his actions disqualifies his troop, alienates his best friend, and disappoints his sister and father. Afterwards, Emily refuses to talk to him and his father refuses to punish him, knowing that Alex will punish himself. After returning a runaway dog to one of his neighbors, Mrs. Jacklitts, Alex learns that she used to be a Bumble Bee leader herself. Alex's mother, who died two years ago, had been a Bumble Bee in Mrs. Jacklitt's old troop.
Upon learning this, Alex makes a deal with her to help out around the house in exchange for her being the new Den Mother. After introducing her to the troop, she convinces them to forgive Alex, who goes to the finals for his hockey game. There, he apologizes to his team and offers the captaincy to Goose (David Lambert), who refuses, saying he wants Alex to be the real captain. During the game, Alex acts as a distraction instead of hogging the puck to himself, allowing his team to win. Alex clears the way for Goose to make the winning point, causing Goose to get the All-Star spot Alex wanted. The Bumble Bees show up with Alex's father; Matisse forgives Alex and reveals that they want Alex to be their Den Mother, to which Alex accepts.
At the Camporee, Alex claims he is the Den Mother. Dina disapproves and tries to get Alex to quit saying all Den Mothers must be in a Bumble Bee uniform, which Alex is not. Not wanting to let his troop down, Alex puts on a Bumble Bee uniform. Dina is infuriated and asks her husband (the hockey official who originally suspended Alex), to do something about it. However, he is pleased with Alex's attitude and offers him a spot on the All-Stars. Alex gleefully accepts as long as it works around his troop's schedule.
