Plot[]

Spoiler Warning! Plot details follow. |
Will is picked to run the school's Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, having been told by Mr. Gilbert that he was chosen because he is a virgin and, although Jay refuses to help, Neil and Simon agree to participate. Will signs himself, Simon and Neil up at a local retirement home in order to fulfil one of their “D of E” modules and also with the hopes of dating his former babysitter Daisy, who works at the home.
The boys go to the home for the first time, and Daisy tells Will how she wants the following day and night off so that she can attend a friend's hen party. Once again Will volunteers himself and his friends for the shifts (after also persuading Daisy to go on a date with him), but Simon then reveals that he has to spend time with his dad and cannot complete the shifts. Jay agrees to help, but only if he receives money for it.
The next day Will finds himself exhausted and falls asleep in the common room at school. Jay and Neil play a prank on him by squeezing hair-removal cream down his pants, resulting in his pubic hair falling out. Will panics before his date and quickly stuffs a woman's wig down his pants at the retirement home. After their date, Daisy (now attracted to Will) takes him home and begins kissing and touching him. She attempts to have sex with him but discovers the wig and believes Will is too young for her due to him not having any pubic hair and asks him to leave. This causes their relationship to end and, despite Will attempting to reconcile, she is too embarrassed to talk to him. Daisy is never mentioned again.
The next day, Will tries to explain to Daisy, but she is too embarrassed to talk to him.
Meanwhile, Jay becomes bored watching over the old people and sneaks off to a supposedly unoccupied room to masturbate. When he is discovered, the boys are kicked off the scheme.
