Cub Scout SKITS - for you and me

CAST: Several CUB SCOUTS
WATER! WATER!
PROPS: Sahara Desert scenery (Have Cubs draw cactus for background.)
A glass of water.
1ST CUB: (Crawls across stage gasping and saying:)
WATER! WATER!
(Collapses about one fourth of the way across)
2ND CUB: (Same as #1 but he gets a little further before he collapses.)
3RD CUB, 4TH CUB, etc. (Do the same as #1 but each gets a little closer to the boy with the glass of
water before collapsing.)
LAST CUB: (Cub with the longest, messiest hair. Crawls across the stage, panting and asking for
water.)
WATER! WATER!
(When he reaches the boy with the glass of water, he drags himself up onto his knees and
pulls a comb from his back pocket, dips it in the glass and combs his hair.)

CAST: Old man and several boys.
THE BURNING SCHOOLHOUSE
SCENE: Boys are standing around talking when an old man comes by
OLD MAN: The school house is burning!
BOYS: (The boys become very excited and shout.)
The school is burning! The school is burning!”
(The old man stays on stage. The boys run off to one side. The first boy crosses the stage
carrying a cup. Another boy follows then another, just about then the first boy comes
hurrying back across the stage.)
BOYS: Hurry! Hurry! It’s burning faster!
(This continues so that one or two boys are always crossing the stage area in each
direction, urging each other to greater speed and to not spill the contents of the cup.
Finally the old man speaks)
OLD MAN: Say fellows, you’re never going to put out that fire with those little cups of water.
ONE BOY: Water? This isn’t water, it’s kerosene!!!”
(Boys hurry off to the fire.)
