I've thought before that the academy could have a prep school. I suppose a scouting group similar to scouts and guides makes sense, too.

Considering Very Short Treks and Prodigy failed this seems an odd choice to make but it could be a very cheap way to entice younger viewers to the franchise, give them a gateway they can then build off of as they grow up.

Until CBS/Paramount makes an official announcement, we should take this with a grain of salt.

Prodigy wasn't a failure. The Hageman Brothers said the reason Netflix is dropping it has nothing to do with ratings. It's simply that the license is running out. And Very Short Treks isn't even a consideration.

I'd like it to be set around Children of Mars

Fair enough. I wasn't aware of its ratings I just took the optics of its cancellation and removal from two services as not a success story but I did wonder if the Nickelodeon side would be a problem factor.

Knowing absolutely nothing about this show (I've not even clicked the link in the OP) I'm declaring it to be obnoxiously woke, insidiously left wing, that Kurtzman is defiling the Trek franchise's corpse, and anyone who watches and supports this series is also defiling by association. BOLO my YouTube video in which I go into detail into all this and how the very concept violates canon to the extreme along with my desire that what the Trek franchise really needs to do is an adaptation of the old DS9 novel Station Rage by Diane Carey in order to properly make Star Trek pure again.

Somewhere, Rob Burnett is apoplectic with rage over the franchise daring to try something new again.

And I think that's just neat.

We have Sea Scouts as part of the Scouts America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) and a youth auxiliary of the US Coast Guard. There also used to be Air Scouts. Both for older teens.

Very Short Treks didn't fail. COVID-19 filming protocols made them impossible to do because they were filmed using the standing sets in between seasons with minimal to no pre production (IE stories made to use them as is in the state they were left in meaning things were done for less cost.)

If not for COVID-19, Short Treks would have continued.

Very Short Treks was the goofy animated shorts.

Doh! You're correct. Yeah those were garbage. My mistake.
