Scouting: Skits p7
Friends of Years - Three guys are sitting on a park bench. Goober is
quietly reading, Gomer is pretending to swim in a lake (jumps off bench
and swims around). Gopher is pretending to be fishing, reeling fish
after fish. Policeman comes in and watches them. Policeman asks Goober
if he knows the other two men. Goober says they are his friends. The
policeman thinks Goober ought to take care of his friends. Goober says
okay and asks the others to climb into his boat. Goober pretends to row
off stage (the policeman staring after them, shaking his head in disbelief).
Gathering of the Nuts: An announcer asks if the audience will help with
the squirrel's harvest. Several boys dressed up like squirrels with
paper ears, tails, and brown clothes go out into the audience bring back
people known for their crazy behavior. They are gathered on the stage
and the announcer says that the title of the skit will be, "The
Gathering of the Nuts."
Ghostcatchers: Two guys start a ghost catching business. They go to this
house and can't get rid of the ghost. The ghost finally leaves because
one of the guys sings very badly and off key. The ghost can't stand it
and leaves.
Glass of Water: There is a glass of water in the middle of the stage.
First scout crawls across the floor crying for water. He dies
dramatically shortly after beginning his crawl. The second person dies
just short of the glass of water. The third person on his last bit of
strength really hams up his desperation as much as he can. He reaches
the water, takes out a comb, grooms his hair with the water, sighs with
relief and goes off stage.
Granny's Candy Store: Paint a verbal picture of the various scouts
acting as a cash register (person says ching, ching), popcorn machine
(goes pop, pop), door (person holds arms horizontal,swinging saying
creak, creak), tree, chair, etc. Have three guys standing there with no
parts to play. Have several scouts come in one at a time, as customers.
They ask Granny for various items of candy; licorice, gum, etc. Finally
disgusted, a customer asks what she does have, and she says all she has
left is these three suckers standing in the corner.
Hairy Hamburger: A man sits down in a restaurant and orders a hamburger.
The waiter bring out his hamburger. The man starts eating his hamburger
and finds a hair in it; complains to waiter and another one is brought
out. The second hamburger has a hair in it and is taken back. The third
hamburger also has a hair in it. The man gets upset and demands to see
the cook. The cook comes out and the man asks him how he makes his
hamburgers. The cook says that all he does is roll the meat and
demonstrates making patties by placing the meat under his arm and
squeezes.
