If less then 5 combine the lines. eg... Scout 1 "Run - Hide", Scout 2 "Call for help - Save yourselves"

Scout 1 - Runs in "The viper is coming! Run!!! Then runs out

Scout 2 - Runs in "The viper is coming! Hide!!! Then runs out

Scout 3 - Runs in "The viper is coming! Call for help!!! Then runs out

Scout 4 - Runs in "The viper is coming! Save Yourselves!!! Then runs out

Viper: Walks in holding a napkin or rag "Hallo! - I'm de Viper! - Vere's de Vindows?"

Leader: For the next 10 seconds, we will be conducting a test of the emergency broadcast system. (Tigers all make a “Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep” sound until the leader raises their hand.)

Leader: Thank you. This concludes the test of the emergency broadcast system. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have heard ...

(Tigers scream in panic and run around, then leave the stage.)

The group of Scout enter the stage.

Scout 1 - Stops and looks down "Hey are those coyote tracks?"

All Scout start looking at the ground as they are investigating...

Scout2 - "Naw those look like Rabbit tracks"

Scout 3 - "Are you sure those aren't deer tracks"

Last Scout - looks up from the ground has a scarred look on his face.

And says "Did you hear that?" the Scout pauses a second the yells "Run for you life... those are train tracks."

Then they run frantically off stage.

This skit is great for any number of Tiger Scouts. It's also a great one for around the holidays.

All of the Cub Scouts are standing in a straight line.

The Cub Scout at one end of the line announces, "Silent night begins."

All Cub Scouts stand perfectly still and quiet.

After about 15 to 30 seconds, the Cub Scout at the opposite end of the line announces, "Silent night ends."

All cub scouts go running around, screaming and yelling.

The Echo Skit...

This skit is for any number of Scouts

Before skit begins all Scouts participating will show up on stage and announce what den they are and the name of the skit "The Echo". Then 3 or mores scouts will stay on stage and the others will run off stage and position themselves in different locations in or behind the audience.

Scout #1 announces that there is a great echo where they currently are and says, "Let's try it..." and shouts, "Chicken soup!"

Scouts off stage echo, "Chicken soup!"

Scout #2 says, "Let me try..." Then shouts "Bananas!"

Scouts off stage echo, "Bananas!"

Scout #3 says, "That was cool..." Then shouts "Eagles!"

Scouts off stage echo, "Eagles!"

The echo test goes on with the scouts on stage until you get to the last Scout.

The last Scout on stage or one of the previous on stage scouts Shouts "bologna."

There is no echo from the off stage scouts.

The last Scout on stage says, "Hmm...let's try that again..." Then shouts "bologna!"

There is no echo.

The last scout on stage is confused that there is no echo then says, "Let's try something else...." Then the last Scout on stage shouts "Our Cubmaster is great at telling jokes!"

Scouts off stage say, "Bologna."

This skit is for any number of Wolf Scouts and a Den Leader.

Here's one that is easy to do and set up. Take some peanut butter and place it on a paper plate. The plate is then placed in the center of the skit area.

The group of Scouts enter the stage an single file line like they are hiking, when they and come across the plate and start to examine it.

The first Scout on the hike comes along, looks at the plate, and says, "Looks like bear droppings."

The second Scout comes along, bends down, and says, "Smells like bear droppings."

The third Scout comes along, touches the droppings, and says, "Feels like Bear Droppings."

The fourth Scout comes along, puts their fingers in the droppings and licks them, and says, "Tastes like Bear Droppings."

The Scout leaders come along and say, "Bear droppings, glad no one stepped in it."

Before the skit begins, two adults are asked to volunteer to hold a stick that will serve as the candy store.

Scout #1 stands behind the stick and is the store employee. One at a time Scouts come up and ask for different types of candy.

Scout #2: Do you have any Sour Patch Kids?

Scout #1: Sorry, I'm all out.

Scout #3: Do you have any Skittles?

Scout #1: Sorry, I'm all out.

Scout #4: Do you have any M&Ms?

Scout #1: Sorry, I'm all out.

This continues for as many Bear Scouts as you would like.

Last Scout: Do you have any Laffy Taffy?

Scout #1: Sorry, I'm all out.

Last Scout: What do you have?

Scout #1: Two suckers on a stick.

This is a short skit for two Tiger Scouts.

The first Tiger Scout searches the ground around the campfire.

Second Tiger Scout: What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find it.

First Tiger Scout: I dropped my favorite marble.

Second Tiger Scout: Where were you standing when you dropped it?

First Tiger Scout: Over there. (He points into the darkness).

Second Tiger Scout: Then why aren't you looking over there?

First Tiger Scout: Are you kidding? It's too dark over there. You can't see a thing.

Props: Two cups (one with water and one without)

The scene starts with all of the Cub Scouts (at least four) lined up facing the audience. The first Cub Scout has the cup with water, and the last Cub Scout has the cup without water. The last Cub Scout has also secretly put water in his mouth.

The narrator starts off by saying that there is a shortage of water at tonight's camp, and the Cub Scouts will demonstrate how to conserve water while brushing their teeth.

The first Cub Scout takes the glass of water and uses his finger to brush his teeth. After finishing, he leans and places his mouth against the ear of the next cub scout. The first Cub Scout's cheeks deflate as the second Cub Scout's cheeks inflate. The second Cub Scout uses his finger to brush his teeth. This continues until the last Cub Scout in line is reached.

The last Cub Scout brushes his teeth and then spits the water he has been holding in his mouth into the empty cup.

This is great for more than three Tiger or Wolf Scouts. This skit was provided by one of my favorite authors, TagsForKids.

Den Leader: The Wolf Scouts are settling down in their sleeping bags after a great day at Scoutarama. Let's see what they are talking about.

Four or more Cub Scouts are onstage with howling coming from offstage.

Wolf Scout #1 (talking to Wolf Scout #2): Hey, go check on that howling.

Wolf Scout #2: I'm too tired to move.

Wolf Scout #2 (talking to Wolf Scout #3): Hey, go see what's howling.

Wolf Scout #3: I'm too tired to move.

This repeats until they get to the last scout.

Last Wolf Scout: OK, I'll go check.

The Scout walks offstage, comes back onstage, and gets back in his sleeping bag.

All other Wolf Scouts at the same time: What was the howling?

Last Wolf Scout: It's just a coyote sitting on a cactus, and he's just too tired to move!

This skit is for any number of Cub Scouts.

Cub Scout #1 walks on stage and squats down as if sitting on a bench that is invisible. Several more Scouts stand off to the side.

Cub Scout #2: (walks up to Scout #1): Whatcha doin’? Tiger #1: Just sitting on this invisible bench. Scout #2: Can I join you?

Cub Scout #1: Sitting on an invisible bench. Would you like to join me?

Cub Scout #2: Sure!

(Scout #2 sits down next to #1. More Scouts enter the stage, one at a time; the dialogue and action is repeated, until a long line of Scouts is sitting on the invisible bench. Then the last Scout walks on to stage.)

Last Cub Scout: What are you guys doing?

All Scouts on the bench: Sitting on an invisible bench. Would you like to join?

Last Cub Scout: "No you're not, I sold it last week." or they could say "No you're not, I moved it over their."

Cub Scouts on bench fall to the floor as if the bench is no longer there.

A Webelos scout performs a monologue in front of the audience and gets an unsuspecting person to join in.

Scout: Here in my hand is Fred the trained flea. Fred will perform for you some amazing feats. Watch closely. Fred, do jumping jacks! Very good! Cheer, everyone! Fred, do a somersault! Fred, do a high jump! Watch him go way up, then back down. Now, Fred will do a long jump. I need a volunteer to catch Fred.

Pick a Scoutmaster or someone with authority.

Scout: Fred, do a long jump!

Watch Fred jump to the volunteer.

Scout: Oh! He seems to have jumped into your hair!

Walk over to the volunteer and start picking through their hair.

Scout: Here we are...no, that's not Fred.

Toss the flea over your shoulder

Scout: Ah! No, that's not Fred. That's not Fred. Fred, are you in there? That's not Fred either. Boy, there's a lot of fleas in here. Fred? Fred?

This skit has been performed by Webelos Scouts as they have been through this a few times.

Den Leader: What was your favorite Pinewood Derby Car last year?

Webelos #1: Someone drilled holes in one, painted it yellow, and called it cheese.

Webelos #2: A Scout painted his white and made it look like a Wii Remote.

Webelos #3: The one that looked like a skateboard.

Webelos #4: The hotdog car was cool. I think they used real ketchup and mustard.

All the Webelos start talking at the same time: The Batman car looked like a plane. The rocket car. The fireball.

Den Leader: What have you learned about building Pinewood Derby cars?

Webelos #1: I forgot to glue the axles, and the wheels came off.

Webelos #2: I cut too much wood off and had 14 pennies taped to mine.

Webelos #3: My dad used some special lubricant and mine was rejected.

Webelos #4: I spray painted my hand blue last year (shows his hand that's still blue).

Webelos #5: Not to build it the night before.

Den Leader: What do you like best about the Pinewood Derby?

Webelos #1: The day of the race and all the races.

Webelos #2: Building the cars.

Webelos #3: Spending time with my dad.

Webelos #4: Going to the hospital.

Den Leader: What do you mean going to the hospital?

Webelos #4: Every year, my dad tries something new with a new tool he just bought from Home Depot, and every year, we end up in the emergency room. Ain’t that right dad?”

All dads in the Webelos den do their best grunting imitation of Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor from the TV series, Home Improvement: "RRRR, RRR, RRR, that's right."

This is great for when the weather starts getting warmer, and the Boy Scouts start to go camping. It's especially great if you have a new Boy Scout camping with you. There are many lines you can add to help teach the younger Cub Scouts, like:

Boy Scout: I think he went to the lake.

Leader: He took his buddy with him, right? Did someone tell him about the buddy system?

Cub 1: Ask me if I'm a rabbit.

Cub 2: Okay Are you a rabbit?

Cub 1: Yes. Now ask me if I'm a beaver.

Cub 2: Are you a beaver?

Cub 1: No, Silly! I already told you I was a rabbit! Said with a surprised and confused face.

Cub 1: Did you hear about the birthday candle that was upset?

Cub 2: Those birthday parties really burn him up!

Leader: What has five fingers and can be made of leather?

Scout : Eh... I don't know.

Leader: One glove! Now, what has 10 fingers and can he made of leather?

Scout : Eh.... I don't know.

Leader: Two gloves! Now, who is the Governor of Oklahoma?

Scout : Eh.... Three gloves?

Leader: What has five fingers and can be made of leather?

Scout : Eh... I don't know.

Leader: One glove! Now, what has 10 fingers and can he made of leather?

Scout : Eh.... I don't know.

Leader: Two gloves! Now, who is the Governor of Oklahoma?

Scout : Eh.... Three gloves?

Leader 1 or Scout: Why do you keep the ruler on the newspaper when you're reading?

Leader 2: Well... I want to get the story straight!

Scout 1: O Man, It’s all around me! It’s all around me!!!

Scout 2: What is all around you?

Scout 1: My belt!

Scout 1: It’s all over me! It’s all over me!!!

Scout 2: What’s all over you?

Scout 1: My clothes!

Scout 1: They’re after me! They’re after me!!!

Scout 2: Who is after you?

Scout 1: The squirrels! They think I’m nuts!!!

Scout 1: I can’t get away from them! I can’t get away from them!

Scout 2: What can’t you get away from?

Scout 1: These corny run ons!!!

Scout 1: Walks out on stage holding a stick in the air.

Scout 2: "What are you doing?"

Scout 1: "This is a stick-up"

A group of scouts run out on stage with their Staves, They talk quietly among themselves in a circle. Then they all start walking off stage.

Scout 1: Does not leave stage but starts poking their staff in the ground randomly

Scout 2: As this Scout is leaving with the rest they turn around to see Scout one staying and ask "What are you doing?"

Scout 1: "O... I'm gonna stick around"

Scout 1: "Runs out on stage yelling, the aliens are after me,

The Scout looks down at their left collar bone and presses on it like he is pushing on his communicator and says:

"Scotty, beam me aboard!"

Scout 2: Hiding from the audience - Carefully, Throws a board out onto the stage

The cutest bear

I ever saw.

Was in the road

with a sandwich in his paw.

I asked him if

he'd pose for me.

He said he would

for a nominal fee.

I walked right up

and looked at him.

He opened his mouth

and shoved me in.

Now here I sit

inside this Bear.

I need some HELP

and a little fresh air.

This Song is meant for Scouts BSA.

Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

Audience repeats each short line after the leader, then everyone sings the whole verse together.

Lyrics:

The other day,

I met a bear,

Out in the woods,

away out there. [Point]

everyone: The other day, I met a bear. Out in the woods, away out there.

He looked at me,

I looked at him,

He sized up me,

I sized up him.

everyone: He looked at me, I looked at him. He sized up me, I sized up him.

He says to me,

'Why don't you run?'

'Cause I can see,

you got no gun.'

everyone: He says to me, 'Why don't you run?' 'Cause I can see you got no gun.'

I says to him,

'That's a good idea.'

'Now legs get going,

get me out of here!'

I began to run,

away from there,

But right behind

me was that bear.

And on the path

ahead of me,

I saw a tree,

Oh glory be.

The lowest branch

was ten feet up,

I'd have to jump

and trust my luck.

And so I jumped

into the air,

But I missed that branch

away up there.

Now don't you fret,

and don't you frown,

I caught that branch

on the way back down.

That's all there is,

there ain't no more,

Unless I meet

that bear once more.
