That's what scouts do, they eat and they stay out all night and they're wild, kind of.

And they don't care what happens, and anyway the ice cream is melting all the time, so will you join ?" Keekie Joe, still hesitating in profound astonishment, and a little fearful of this strange apparition with its presiding genius saw that if he were going to act he must act quickly for though Pee-wee was king of the island he seemed not able to govern its capricious fancy.

Keekie Joe, not altogether easy in his mind, still found it impossible to resist these enumerated benefits of scouting.
