julipat idea i had earlierrrr
divorced dad julian currently has custody of rachel, and her local brownies group disperses / is shut down. so instead, julian approaches the local scouts group and gets her in that. que julian turning back up every now and then to make sure rachel isnt being bullied etc, and que pat - the over helpful scout leader - talking to julian as often as possible to update him on how rachel's doing.
(none of the boys are mean about rache getting in btw. she can beat them all in a fight, and they're much more interested in seeing julian be oblivious and their beloved skipper fail badly at flirting)
rachel and daley become besties obviously (esp since pat asked him to keep an eye on her in case any of the boys were mean) so of COURSE pat and julian have to meet more often outside of scouts for playdate reasons
