Scout’s Honor

In "Joey," Gary Coleman portrays Joey Seymour, an intelligent yet solitary orphan constantly shifting between foster homes. Simultaneously, he aspires to become the top Cub Scout. Meanwhile, hardworking executive Pearl Bartlett (Katherine Helmond), who is not fond of children, finds herself assuming the role of den mother for a Cub Scouts troop as a condition of her job security. As their lives intersect, Joey imparts to Pearl the profound significance of empathy and nurturing in this heartwarming coming-of-age tale that explores themes of friendship, resilience, and the transformative power of shared experiences.
