The Whoopee Cap is a community-created headwear item for the Scout class. It appears as a team-colored, crown-like cap adorned with various logos in the form of badges.
Badges for the Badland Brawlers, both Bonk! Atomic Punch Blutonium Berry and Punch Cherry Fission, the Scout class, BLU Streak beer, Mann Co., both the RED and BLU team, XXX Cider, and a miniature of the opponent team's Dispenser can be found encircling the hat.

Trivia
- Whoopee caps were popular amongst American youth during the 1930s and 1940s. Commonly, children would make one using their father's worn-out fedora. The process typically involved turning the fedora inside out, trimming it, and then dying the fedora a vibrant color. After the trend caught on, whoopee caps were manufactured for purchase or available as cereal premiums.
- The Whoopee Cap was submitted under the name "Lil' Scamp's Whoopee Cap" by the creator.
- The Whoopee Cap's description references Template:W, of Template:W fame, who famously wears a similar cap.
