Ep 12. Sparkle Cadet

Craig Of The Creek season 3 episode 12, titled "Sparkle Cadet," follows Craig, Kelsey, and JP as they try to earn their Sparkle Cadet badges. The Sparkle Cadet badge is the highest badge a kid can earn in the Creek, and it requires the kids to show bravery, resourcefulness, and kindness towards their fellow Creek residents.

At the start of the episode, Craig, Kelsey, and JP are excited to begin working on their Sparkle Cadet badges. They head to the Sparkle Cadet station, where they meet the three Sparkle Cadet commanders: Sparkle Cadet Bubbles, Sparkle Cadet Fluff, and Sparkle Cadet Shimmer. The commanders explain that to earn their badges, the kids must complete three challenges: the Chimney Challenge, the Lasso Challenge, and the Friendship Challenge.

The Chimney Challenge involves climbing up a tall chimney to rescue a lost bird. The Lasso Challenge requires the kids to use a lasso to catch a runaway horse. Finally, the Friendship Challenge asks the kids to complete a task for a Creek resident in need.

Craig, Kelsey, and JP are determined to complete all three challenges and earn their Sparkle Cadet badges. They start with the Chimney Challenge, and Craig is the first one to try. He's nervous, but he manages to climb up the chimney and rescue the bird. Kelsey and JP follow suit, and the three kids are all successful.

Next, they move on to the Lasso Challenge. Kelsey is the first to try, but she has a hard time using the lasso. Craig and JP help her out, and together, they're able to catch the runaway horse.

Finally, they take on the Friendship Challenge. They ask around the Creek to see if anyone needs their help, and eventually, they hear about a resident named Mr. Shelton who needs assistance getting his groceries home. They offer to help him, and he accepts.

As they help Mr. Shelton, they discover that he used to be a Sparkle Cadet himself, many years ago. He tells them stories about his adventures in the Creek, and they're impressed by his bravery and kindness. They realize that being a Sparkle Cadet isn't just about completing challenges, it's about being a good friend and neighbor to everyone in the Creek.

By the end of the episode, Craig, Kelsey, and JP have completed all three challenges and earned their Sparkle Cadet badges. They're proud of themselves, but they also know that it's just the beginning of their adventures in the Creek. The episode ends with the three friends looking out over the Creek, excited to see what other challenges and adventures await them.
