,
My last name is Winkle, and it may not be right. But I’m always sleepy
(Yawns). So, good night. (Drops head and pretends to sleep).
Den
Leader: Well boys, I’d no idea that Den One had such famous uncles
and granddads. I’ve never heard such tall tales, from so many small males.
Dragon Around
Circle Ten Council
Cast:
Dragon (with head of boy and as many body pieces as you need finishing
with the tail.), Sir Cub Scout
Props:
Cardboard bushes, sword, flames (red tissue paper), feather, hotdog, red
sock.
Setting:
The dragon comes on stage. Head boy sticks red-socked hand out of
the mouth occasionally as if fire is shooting out.
Dragon:
Ahhhhh Chooooo…(as dragon
sneezes throw red colored tissue paper on fake bush as if it had caught fire,
do this a couple of times)
Sir Cub:
Now cut that out. Dragon, prepare to be slain.
Dragon:
Sir Cub Scout, why are you going to slay me? I’m a peaceful dragon. I have
done you no harm.
Sir Cub:
No harm! What do you call all these burning bushes? You are destroying the
king’s forest. I promised the king I would take care of you, and that’s just
what I’m going to do.
Dragon:
But, you don’t understand. It’s not my fault. I just can’t stop sneezing.
Maybe you can take care of me another way?
Sir Cub:
(Reaches into the dragon and pulls out the feather) Here is the problem, no
wonder you couldn’t stop sneezing. But, in order to satisfy the king we must
find something useful for you to do.
Dragon:
What can I do? Being a dragon is all I know.
Sir Cub:
I have an idea. (Pulls out hot dog and puts it on a stick and holds it in
front of the dragon) Now blow on this, you can be the king’s personal cook.
His favorite food is charcoal broiled hotdogs.
Aesop's Fables
Viking Council
My Roundtable will say I
wrote this one but I didn’t. CD
Characters:
Aesop (dressed in long flowing sheet belted with a rope. White cotton beard.)
Scene #1 - 8 Knights (shield, sword and helmet; optional)
Scene #2 - 1 Rabbit (cardboard ears tied around head and sign saying
"RABBIT" around neck.), 2 or 3 Boys as a snake (paper sack head and sheet or
paper as body)
Scene #3 - 1 Boy as Bully (wears "BULLY" sign around neck), 2 Boys as
themselves (lick lollipops)
Arrangement:
This skit is divided into 3 very short simple scenes with little props and
very simple costumes. Cubs can play one or more parts, except Aesop. Aesop is
the narrator and holds up a sign at the end of each scene that states the
moral of the story.
Aesop:
Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I would like you to meet some of the people I
have written about.
Scene 1:
(Enter 8 knights. One knight does battle with the other 7 knights, taking on
one at a time. When he has finally finished defeating the seventh knight, who
has fallen "dead" on the floor, the victor staggers then collapses in complete
exhaustion.)
Aesop:
The moral of this story is: (holds up a sign with the words) "Seven Knights
Make One Weak."
Scene 2:
(A rabbit is quietly eating a carrot. Along comes a snake. The rabbit
disappears under the sheet - the snake has eaten him.)
Aesop:
The moral of this story is: (holds up a sign with the words) "Hare Today, Gone
Tomorrow."
Scene 3:
(This scene needs a couple of simple props - a sign saying "Men Working", a
small sawhorse, if available, and a box with a sign on it saying "Ditch. " As
the scene opens, 2 boys are calmly licking big lollipops. They are standing by
the "ditch" when the Bully enters.)
Bully:
Okay, you guys, I'm hungry. You give me your candy.
Boy # 1:
No, I won't.
Bully:
Okay, then I'll take it (gets into a scuffle with boy #1 and yanks the candy
from him. While the two are fighting, Boy #2 tosses his candy into the
"ditch")
Bully:
Now, where's yours? (Speaking to Boy #2) I want it too.
Boy #2:
Oh, I ate it.
Bully:
Chicken. (Leaves stage eating first boy's candy. Boy #2 retrieves his lollipop
from the "ditch" and leaves stage with Boy #1)
Aesop:
The moral of this story is: (holds up sign that says,) "A Ditch In Time Saves
Mine".
