Trapper Trails
Council
Scene - A fish market, customer and
merchant
Customer: I want you to do me a
favor.
Merchant: What is it Mr. Higwig?
Customer: I
just got back from a fishing trip.
Merchant: Did you catch
anything?
Customer: No, and that's the catch. My wife said
I wouldn't and I'm in the doghouse. I said I would catch six
fish.
Merchant: Well, how can I help you.
Customer: Let
me have six of those medium size trout there.
Merchant> Wrap
'em up?
Customer: No, don't make a liar out of me. Pitch
'em to me one at a time.
Merchant: Well, I don't understand but
here goes. (Tosses the fish to the Customer) What was that
for?
Customer: Very simple. I caught them, didn't
I.
Merchant: (Grinning)You're right Mr. Higwig. Good Luck.

Water Water
York Adams
Council
Man walking by: "Sorry." He continues
walking.
Another man walks by, the crawling man tugs on his pant
leg: "Water, Water!"
Man walking by: "All I've got
is this beef jerky, sorry."
He keeps walking.
Another
man walks by, the crawling man tugs on his pant leg: "Water,
Water!"
Man walking by: "No, I don't have any." He
keeps walking.
The crawling man sees a cup of water at the other
end of the stage. "Water!!" He painfully crawls over
there. "Water! Water!"
When he reaches the water, he
quickly stands up, dunks his comb in it, and uses it to comb his
hair.
I Gotta Go Wee
York Adams
Council
Five guys sleeping in a tent, all in a row. The
Cubmaster on one end, the little scout on the other. The little
scout climbs over all the other sleeping scouts, who try to remain
asleep, and shakes the Cubmaster. " Cubmaster! Cubmaster! I
gotta go wee!"
"Huh? Wha? Go back to sleep." The
little scout crawls back over everyone and goes back to sleep for 5
seconds. The little scout climbs over all the other sleeping scouts,
who try to remain asleep, and shakes the Cubmaster.
"
Cubmaster! Cubmaster! I gotta go wee!"
"Huh? Wha? Go
back to sleep." The little scout crawls back over everyone and
goes back to sleep for 5 seconds. The little scout climbs over all
the other sleeping scouts, who try to remain asleep, and shakes the
Cubmaster.
" Cubmaster! Cubmaster! I gotta go
wee!"
"OK! OK!", says the Cubmaster, "If
you've gotta go, then go."
The little scout stands up and
waves his hands in the air: "Weee!!!!"
The Water Table
York Adams
Council
For this skit, the members of the den all come to
the front and set themselves up as chairs, sidetables, etc. as
someone explains that the group is going to do a restaurant skit.
(You need to have two boys not doing anything so they can be the
customer and the waiter.) This means that the den has to fall short
one person—someone to be the main table. The speaker calls for
a volunteer from the audience to get down on all fours and make sure
his/her back is as flat as possible. The customer then enters the
restaurant and is shown to his table. The waiter introduces himself
and asks if he can get anything. The customer says he would like a
glass of water while he looks over the menu. The waiter returns with
a glass of water that he carefully balances on the back of the
"table person." All of a sudden, from off stage, someone
yells Fire! Fire! The customer, waiter, and all the other boys get
up and run off stage, leaving the "table" to fend for
itself. No one returns to remove the water glass—that's the
volunteer's problem!
