Scouting: Skit Files p7
Good Soup
Props: a large pot, several spoons, and a floor mop. A chef's
hat would also be useful.
Announcer: This scene takes place in the camp Dining Hall.
(Several boys are seated around a large pot, sampling the
imaginary contents with the spoons.)
Scott : Boy, this is sure good soup.
Brad : Yep, it's got REAL flavor.
David : Sure is, why it's even better than my Mom makes.
Mathew: Oh yeah. It's the best food I've eaten at camp all week.
Cook : (Enters waving floor mop and shouting) Hey you guys !
Get out of my mop water !!!
Letters from Home
Props: Two sheets of paper.
Scott: (Enters) Gee, it's always nice to get a letter from home
when you're at camp.
Robin: (Enters) Hey, look, I got a letter from my Mom.
Scott: Me too. Listen, my Mom says she's writing this letter
slowly, because she knows I can't read fast.
Robin: Mine says I won't know the house when I come home..
They've moved !
Scott: Oh, my Dad has a new job with 500 men under him. He's
cutting the grass at the cemetery.
Robin: Our neighbors started keeping pigs. Mom got wind of it
this morning.
Scott: Oh, my goodness. My little brother came home from school
crying because all the other boys had new clothes and we
can't afford any for him. Mom says she got him a new hat
and lets him stand in the window.
Robin: There was a washing machine in the new house. But my Mom
put four shirts in it, pulled the handle and they
disappeared. Guess it doesn't work right.
Scott: My Mom had her appendix out and a dishwasher put in. And,
oh, my sister had a baby this morning. Mom doesn't know
if I'm an Aunt or and Uncle, because she doesn't know yet
if it's a boy or a girl.
Robin: Oh, dear, there's a P.S. It says, I was going to send you
$ 10.00, but I had already sealed the envelope.
Scott: Well, it's nice to know things are normal at home.
Robin: Yep. (Both exit)
(With this skit it is possible to put each boy's script on a
sheet of paper, and they can read it out, as though they were
reading the letter. They should rehearse, of course, to make it
sound natural.)
Lunch Break
Props: Lunch bags or pails.
Announcer: We see here a construction site. It is now lunch
time, and two friends are about to eat.
Worker 1: (Opens lunch bag and looks very disgusted) Yechhhh !!
Egg salad sandwiches again !
Worker 2: Look, if you hate them that bad, I'll swap with you.
(Both pretend to eat, then exit.)
Announcer: The next day.
Worker 1: (Enters with Worker 2, opens lunch bag and looks very
disgusted) Yechhhh !!! Egg salad sandwiches again !
Worker 2: O.K... I'll trade with you again. (Both pretend to
eat, then exit.)
Announcer: The next day.
Worker 1: (Enters with Worker 2, opens lunch bag and looks very
disgusted) Yechhh !! Egg salad sandwiches again !
Worker 2: (Angrily) Look, if you don't like egg salad sandwiches,
why don't you ask your (wife/mom/significant other) to
make something else ?
Worker 1: My (wife/mom/significant other)?? She's got nothing to
do with it. I make my own sandwiches !
