The Super Scouts: Part 1 is the second episode of the second season in the classic science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica.

The children, referred to as "super scouts," have been genetically engineered by their parents to survive in harsh environments and navigate unfamiliar territories.

The Galactica's crew is initially suspicious of the children, but they soon realize that the super scouts may hold the key to finding a new home for the remaining members of the human race.

However, the project was abandoned when the Cylons attacked human colonies, leaving the children stranded on the planet with their parents' remains.

Meanwhile, back on the Galactica, Lieutenant Boomer is tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of a member of the crew. As he delves deeper into the case, he begins to uncover a sinister plot involving a group of human collaborators who are secretly working with the Cylons to betray the Galactica and its crew.
