As part of yesterday’s Star Trek Day celebrations a brand new, original animated YouTube-first series, Star Trek: Scouts was unveiled. The series marks the first ever preschool extension of the Star Trek franchise.
Developed and produced by Nickelodeon Digital Studio in association with CBS Studios, the series follows three 8-year-old friends, JR, Sprocket and Roo, as they train to become future Starfleet Explorers by going on epic, out-of-this-world missions that push them to discover, grow and boldly go where no one has gone before.

Two episodes of the short-form series (3-4 min each) are available now on Nickelodeon’s Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel, with the remainder of the 20-episode order continuing to roll out into next year.
