Scooter is a bespectacled character from The Muppet Show. He was the "gofer" backstage, although he occasionally participates in stage productions. He is orange with a darker orange sprout of hair.

Scooter's rich uncle J.P. Grosse owned the theater where Kermit the Frog and company performed their shows. Originally, Scooter would often use his family connection to his advantage, making unreasonable demands on his uncle's behalf. His antagonistic role was gradually disregarded, and he became a legitimate assistant to Kermit.

In the Muppet Babies animated series, he was redesigned as a brainy, computer-knowledgeable child and given a tomboyish twin sister named Skeeter (who did not appear in any other Muppets-related projects).

Scooter was performed by Richard Hunt until his death in 1992. The character was largely retired until 1999, when he appeared in the film Muppets from Space, performed by Adam Hunt; and in the 2002 TV movie It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, performed by Brian Henson. In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Scooter portrays the assistant to the Wizard. In this portrayal, he was voiced by Rickey Boyd.
