'''''Troop Beverly Hills''''' is a 1989 film starring [[Shelley Long]] as Phyllis Neffler, a [[The Ditz|ditzy]] but [[Spoiled Sweet|good-hearted]] Beverly Hills [[Socialite]] with a marriage on the rocks, her husband seeking divorce over her profligate spending habits and inability to follow through with anything.

Phyllis' most recent project is to take over as troop leader of the [[Scout Out|Girl Scout-esque "Wilderness Girls"]] of the Beverly Hills chapter, which is a paltry eight-girl ensemble including Phyllis' own daughter Hannah and other girls of wealthy Beverly Hills backgrounds. Her contributions include taking the troop out "roughing it" in a hotel suite rather than a campground (to avoid all the bugs and a lack of electrical outlets), taking the traditional uniform to a fashion designer for improvements, and awarding her charges patches for skills such as "jewelery appraisal" and "Gardening with glamor".

All of this earns her the ire of Wilderness Girls district leader Velda Plendor, who takes the "wilderness" aspect ~~''very''~~ [[Serious Business|seriously]] and sees Phyllis as an affront to everything the group stands for. Velda pulls out all the stops to get Phyllis discredited and fired, but even in situations her money can't buy her out of, Phyllis perseveres through a little ingenuity and sheer [[Plucky Girl|pluck]]. It all leads to a showdown at the annual jamboree, where Troop Beverly Hills will compete against Velda's Culver City Red Feathers, trekking through actual wilderness in a race to the finish where the winners will be the Wilderness Girls' poster troop for the year...
