In the best scouting movie since MOONRISE KINGDOM . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . this flick shows America why we still need scouts. While everyone else is driving through the doors of gun shops each time a zombie apocalypse breaks out, scouts crash their commandeered Catmobiles into Home Depots, supremely confident in their ability to construct jerry-rigged bombs, flamethrowers, and RPE's (Rocket-Propelled Eightballs) with the components found there. The title characters of SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE belong to the American Scouting Society, which has a more fundamental acronym than does the BSA (Boy Scouts of America). This SSA-backwards group also has way cooler merit badges compared to the BSA, including Strip Club Spelunking, Straw-Man Beer Purchase, and the always elusive Heterosexual Experience Reward (HER). But once an A.S.S. scout gets HER, she can consider herself gotten in a big way, as Kendall finds out here. When Cloris Leachman was devouring a high schooler in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, it was considered a January-December Affair. She's still at it nearly 50 years later--that should count as A Whole 'Nother Apocalypse!
