Scouting: Skits p8
Herman, The Trained Flea: The trainer has a flea various tricks, when
suddenly he loses Herman, his trained flea. He searches around for
Herman, calling for him, eventually a person is brought forward with a
flea in his hair. The punch line is, "This isn't Herman!"
Hiccup for Me: A boy comes out and says something like, "Hic - I can't -
Hic - get rid of these Hic-ups". Another person comes out and asks what
wrong. He is told and yells "BOO!" to help the boy get rid of his
hiccups. It didn't work. Several more people try various methods to get
rid of the hiccups and they are fail. Last method is tried and seems to
work, but just as he leaves the stage starts hiccuping again, so he
falls to the floor in despair.
How to Make the Team: Two boys, one eats vegetables, exercises,
ballerate (ballet & karate), runs (gets a kid to chase him home-school
bully). The other kid eats candy bars, plays baseball with guys. First guy
(vegetable eater) makes the team and the other kid doesn't. The other
kid says; "What did I do wrong? Whaaa ! ! !"
The Important Papers: The setting can be either a king or a boss in his
office who beckons to a courtier or assistant that he wants his royal or
important papers. The person runs in with a sheath of papers, the king
or boss quite agitated tosses them aside and demands that they bring him
his important papers. Other people bring in other things one at a time
such as a Boy Scout Handbook etc. the king throws them aside and gets
more and more upset demanding that he have his important papers. At last
the some one comes in with a roll of toilet paper (court jester, office
boy etc.). The king knights him or the boss promotes him thanking him
profusely and runs off the stage in visible relief.
Is It Time Yet?: Have several boys standing in a line (facing the
audience) with one arm on the next boys shoulder. The first boy in line
looks at the second and asks the second boy, "IS it time yet?" The
second boy asks the third boy the same question and so on down the line.
The boy at the end of the line looks at his watch and says to the boy
next to him, "No, its not time yet," and this continues on up the line
to the first boy in the line again with each boy saying it in turn. This
can continue a couple times; then when it gets to the last boy, he says,
"It's time!" and when the message gets back to the first boy each boy
moves his arm from the other's shoulder and puts his other arm on the
boy next to him.
Variation: Everyone is sitting down instead of sitting up with their
legs crossed the same way. When the time comes all they do is switch
legs simultaneously.
