Cub Scout Skits
Skits form the body of a pack meeting or campfire program. A couple well-rehearsed and acted out comedy skits are talked about for weeks afterward. Scout skits tend to be gross or slapstick but there's no reason a good thought-provoking one can't be thrown in. Find free scripts for your group of scouts or search for specific humorous skits for your next campfire program.

Bear Attack Skit
| Required: | 4 or more scouts |
| Script: | 2 scouts are camping out, but only have a one-man tent. They argue about who should sleep inside and finally one winds up laying down 'inside' and the other 'outside'. They fall asleep. A group (2 or 3 scouts) of bears, thugs, or trolls wander by and see the sleeping scout. They rush up and beat on him for a couple seconds and then run off stage. The scout gets up, hobbles to his buddy, explains he was just attacked, and pleads to change places. The other scout won't switch and tells him to go back to sleep. Once settled down, the bears come back and beat on him again. Again, he pleads with buddy to trade. This time, he agrees to switch places. (Can repeat once more if its going well.) After they settle down, the bears come back again. Just as they are going to start beating on the scout outside, one stops and says 'Hey, we've beat this guy up enough - let's get the guy in the tent!!'. |
Can't Work in the Dark Skit
| Required: | 4 or more scouts |
| Script: | All scouts are center stage digging with shovels, raking, whatever manual labor they want. One scout just stands there with his arm raised straight as if he were holding a torch in his hand. (Boss walks onstage to survey the work being done. He sees the one guy not working and walks up to him.) Boss: I'm paying you to work, not to just stand around. Why aren't you working? Scout #1: I'm a lightbulb! Boss: Get to work! When I come back, if you aren't working, you're fired! (boss leaves and everyone continues to do the same things. Then, boss returns and sees scout still not working.) Boss: That's it! You're fired! Get out! (scout drops his arm and dejectedly exits stage. As soon as he drops his arm, the rest look around, stop working, and start to leave.) Boss: Hey, why are you guys leaving? Get back to work! Scout #2: How? We can't work in the dark! |
Dumb Doctor Skit
| Required: | 2 scouts chairs lined up to be a hospital bed or a tabletop. |
| Script: | (doctor enters hospital room where man is laying on hospital bed, sleeping. doctor walks over close to man and looks at him and starts readying his imaginary status chart.) doctor: Hmmm, let's see. Mr. Smith. Hmmm, recovering nicely. Good progress! (man wakes up and starts grabbing his throat like he can't breath.) doctor: What is it? Do you need something to drink? (man shakes head No) doctor: Do you need medicine? (man shakes head No frantically) doctor: Are you having a heart attack? (man shakes head No. He acts like he is scribbling on a piece of paper.) doctor: You want a pencil and paper? (man nods head Yes) (doctor hands him paper and pencil. Man writes note with his last bit of strength and then falls back dead.) doctor: (reading note) You are standing on my oxygen hose! (doctor looks down at his shoes and takes a step back, then guiltily scurries offstage) |
Great Raisins Skit
| Required: | 5 or more scouts. big dark-colored garbage bag for each. |
| Preparation: | all but one scout puts a garbage bag on like a coat - with a hole cut out for his head. |
| Script: | All scouts but one are Raisins and they come on stage and line up. They sing the Raisin Bran song. "We are the raisins that make the Raisin Bran so great." over and over and over ... Last scout walks onto stage with his fingertips together over his head so his arms make a big circle - he is the spoon. Raisins: Spoon! Aaaaaah! (and they all run around in a panic, but not too fast) The 'spoon' catches one raisin and takes him offstage. Raisins line up, settle down, and start their song again. Spoon reappears and takes another raisin. Repeat until only one raisin is left. He stands there sadly and sings: "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner ..." For added fun, have the 'spoon' enter the stage the 2nd or 3rd time with only one arm pointing straight up - he's a knife. :-) One Raisin yells - "Spoon!!!" Another yells - "Hey, its just a knife! I think he's after the jelly." and they all settle down while the knife walks across. Can do the same thing with both arms pointing up with elbows bent to the side slightly - a fork. :-) One Raisin yells - "Spoon!!!" Another yells - "Relax, that's a fork! The eggs are in trouble now!" and they all settle down while the fork walks across. |
Hunting Thanksgiving Dinner Skit
| Required: | 4 to 8 scouts at least one pizza box a bush or cardboard bush cutout |
| Preparation: | Hide the pizza box behind the bush cutout or tape it to the back before bringing it onstage so no one sees it. |
| Script: | (Scout #1 is stalking around the stage obviously hunting something like Elmer Fudd.) Scout #2 walks up to him. Scout #2: What are you doing? Scout #1: Shhhh, I'm hunting Thanksgiving dinner. Scout #2: Oh, ok, I'll help. (stalks around too) (repeat this for as many people as you want. Once they are all stalking, Scout #1 stops suddenly and points to bush.) Scout #1: AH-HA! I've found it! (he reaches behind bush and pulls out pizza box and they all run off to eat.) |
Mosquito Memories Skit
| Notes: | You can spell out any word, but having the participants seriously say their parts while the audience figures out the word makes it fun. |
| Script: | This is good for a campfire towards the end of a week at camp. Each of the eight speakers holds up a large card showing his letter. M is for the Memories we share tonight - the memories of camp. O is for the Opportunities we have to grow together, to learn new skills, and to share fellowship around this campfire tonight. S is for the Super things we have done here and the Super scouts we have met and made our friends. Q is for the Quiet times we experience - times to reflect and give thanks. U is for the Ultimate peacefulness of the outdoors. I is for the Inspiration we receive from nature and from our friends. T is for the Terrific leaders who have been with us at camp. O is for the Obstacles we've overcome this week. Put them all together, and what do you have? MOSQUITO! Other words to try: OATMEAL THUNDER anything that would have humorous meaning from the events of camp. |
Nutty Fishman Skit

| Preparation: | 2 scouts |

Passerby: 'Fishing eh!, what are you fishing for.' Fisher: 'I'm fishing for suckers.' Passer by: 'Have you caught any?' Fisher: 'Yes you're the third one today!' |
OUtrun the Bear Skit

Scout #2: Yep, sounded like a bear to me. Off over that way. (points offstage. Then, starts untiring his boots.) (pause until his boots are about off.) Scout #1: Hey! There it is again. Sounds closer. (from here on, #1 should occasionally glance over his shoulder toward the bear and looking scared.) Scout #2: Yep, sure does. (has boots off and starts slipping on tennis shoes.) Scout #1: What are you doing? Scout #2: I'm just putting on my tennis shoes. Scout #1: Duh! WHY are you putting on your tennis shoes? Scout #2: Because it sounds like that bear is heading right into our camp. Scout #1: But, bears are much faster than you - those shoes won't help you outrun that bear. Scout #2: I don't have to outrun the bear - I just have to outrun you! (both scouts run offstage away from the bear, with #2 in the lead and #1 clomping after him and screaming.) |

(#2 exits and #1 begins talking again while #3 enters pushing the stiff rope and circles #1) Scout #1: What do you think you're doing? Scout #3: Pushing a rope around of course.
