Funny skits for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts

One of the fun things about scouting are the skits being performed on scout camping trips or at scout pack and troop meetings. Most cub scout skits have some sort of twist at the end which makes them fun. I am compiling my favorite skits from boy scouts, cub scouts, and girl scouts that I have seen, and hope you add your favorites as well.

Yes, scout skits are childish, in bad taste, and a whole lot of fun. Modify them to fit your needs.

In getting ready for skits and practicing them with your cub scouts, remember, that these skits can all be modified to the size of the group performing the skit around the campfire or at the pack meeting. Look for ways to add to the skit to ensure one cub scout is not left out, or combine parts where your have too few scouts but you really like the skit. Be creative and always have fun!

As I add new scout skits, I will provide updates through the RSS feed on the right or add the following link (http://www.squidoo.com/xml/syndicate_lens/cubscoutskits) to your favorite home page, such as MyYahoo!

First Tiger Scout: "Over there." (He points into the darkness.)
Second Tiger Scout: "Then why are you looking over there."

Fred the Trained Flea Skit 

skit for a single webelo scout...

A webelo scout does a monologue with the audience and gets an unsuspecting person to join in.

"Here in my hand is Fred the Trained Flea. Fred will perform for you some amazing feats. Watch closely."

"Fred, do jumping jacks! Very good! Cheer, everyone!"

"Fred, do a somersault!"

"Fred, do a high jump!" Watch him go way up, then back down.

"Now Fred will do a long jump. I need a volunteer to catch Fred." Pick a scoutmaster, or someone in authority.

"Fred, do a longjump!" Watch Fred jump to the volunteer "Oh! He seems to have jumped into your hair!"

Walk over to the volunteer, start picking through their hair. "Here we are .. no, that's not Fred." toss the flea over your shoulder "Ah! No, that's not Fred." "That's not Fred." "Fred, are you in there?" "That's not Fred either." "Boy, there's a lot of fleas in here." "Fred? Fred?" ...

Ugliest Girl Scout Skit 

Even though this is a girl scout skit, it can be modified to cub scouts or boy scouts

This skit can be done with any number of girl scouts.

The skit starts with a girl scout standing on stage with a towel over the head. Make sure the towel is loose enough to be peaked underneath.

A second girl scout acts as the emcee and asks different girl scouts if they would like to see the ugliest girl scout in the world.

Prior to the skit, the other girl scouts have determined what they will say when they look under the towel. One may faint, one may go running away, one may scream, say various things, Oh my god, jimminy crickets, etc.

After the staged girl scouts are done, the emcee asks the audience if anyone would like to see the ugliest girl scout. The emcee picks someone in the audience to look under the towel, preferably a leader with a sense of humor.

The person picked goes up to look under the towel, before they have a chance to react, the girl scout under the towel screams and runs away, leaving the unknowing victim standing by themselves on stage.

Why do boy scouts perform skits 

Should the skits be morale based

I've been watching skits in Cub Scouts for a couple of years now and have been confounded by the lack of morales in most of the skits. We teach the scouts to be loyal, trustworthy, and obey the law of the pack, and scout skits always seem to portray the opposite of the desired behavior.

As I was thinking about this, I remembered scout skits are about teaching the scouts to speak in public, and the scouts are more receptive and will perform to a funny scout skit than to a scout skit about morales. Teaching scouts to perform and speak in front of friends, family, and other people is a great skill to learn in life.

The scouts show to each other that it is ok to speak in public. As Tiger scouts and Wolf scouts, skits are mainly done in a group with everyone doing a very similar speaking part. As bear scouts, webelos, and boy scouts, the skits become more complicated with many speaking parts and different animations going on. Its great to see the scouts start reaching out and planning their own scout skits at campfires and day camps.

Invisible bench skit 

For any number of Cub Scouts

Cub Scout 1 starts by sitting on an invisible bench.

Cub Scout 2 says: "What are you doing?"

Cub Scout 1 says: "Sitting on an invisible bench, would you like to join me"

Cub Scout 2 says: "Sure"

Cub Scout 3 says: "What are you doing?"

Cub Scouts on bench say: "Sitting on an invisible bench, would you like to join?"

Cub Scout 3 says: "Sure"

Continue with cub scouts 4, 5, 6, etc.

Last cub scout says: "What are you doing?"

Cub Scouts on bench reply: "Sitting on an invisible bench."

Last cub scout says: "No your not, I sold it last week".

Cub Scouts on bench fall to the floor as it the bench is no longer there.
