One Step At A Time
York Adams Area Council

Characters:  Senior Scout (like a Den Chief, Denner, etc.)  Junior “Cub” Scouts.

Setting:  All Scouts are on stage as the skit starts.

Cub 1: When I grow up I’m going to be the world’s greatest broad jumper and jump like this… (Jumps about one 1 foot and falls down.)

Senior Scout:  Well, you’ll have to remember to take it one step at a time, one step at a time.

Cub 2: Well, I am going to be a high jumper and win a gold medal like this… (Jumps and falls flat.)

Senior Scout:  Well just remember that you’ll have to remember to take it one step at a time, one step at a time.

Cub 3:  Well I am doing to be a world famous baseball player and hit homeruns like this… (Swings and falls.)

Senior Scout:  Fine, fine, but remember to take it one step at a time, one step at a time.

Cub 4: I am going to be the world’s best slam-dunker (dribbles imaginary ball across stage and slam-dunks it, falling.

Senior Scout:  Sure, sure, but remember to take it one step at a time, one step at a time.

Cub 1: Say, what are you going to be when you grow up?

Senior Scout:  Why I am going to be the greatest marathon runner that ever lived!  (Turns to walk away and trips on shoelace.)

All Cubs: One step at a time!  One step at a time!

Joe I don't think so. I've eaten a bowl of cereal, a boiled egg, a ham sandwich, two apples, a celery stick, a green salad, a banana, some meatloaf, a carrot, and an orange. (Groan) I feel kind of funny; I'm probably too healthy!!
