The Parachute Skit
Two scouts "on stage" First Scout showing
the other a backpack.
First Scout: This is our top of the line
parachute, guaranteed to work.
Second Scout: What is this cord for?
First Scout: That's the rip cord, you pull that
and the parachute opens.
Second Scout: What's this other cord for?
First Scout: That's the reserve chute, if the
first one fails to open you pull that cord and
the reserve chute opens.
Second Scout: What if that one fails to open.
First Scout: Bring it back and we'll give you
another one, no charge.
Pickpockets
Two friends meet and ask each how they are
doing. Each reveals that he has become a
pickpocket and claims to be the best
pickpocket ever. They agree to find out. They
back up ten steps and walk toward each
other, bumping into each other as they pass.
The first person says: "Well I guess this
settles it, I am the best. Look at all the stuff I
got (show these items). Here is your wallet,
your watch, you pocket knife, and your comb.
I still have all those things, so I guess I win."
The other man says "I guess so, All I got was
this! (he holds up a pair of underwear!)
The Dead Body skit
Number of Participants: 2
Scene: One person lying on the ground,
dead. Another sees him and runs for the
telephone and, panicking, gasps: "Police,
there's a dead person here... Where ? .... Uh,
(looking for a sign), "I'm at Montgomery and
Westchester... Spell it ?... Uh, M-o-t-n... Uh,
M-o-t-g,," (confused), "Just a minute, I'll drag
him over to King and Elm !"
(How Indians Tell Time at Night)
The Master of Ceremonies announces that
the next skit as, "How Indians tell time in the
dark". He recruits a few scout to dance
(Indian style) around the campfire fire and
Indian chanting at the same time. The MC
stops and says "listen" hearing nothing he
says this is not working. He then recruits
more volunteers, dance sing chant, etc. He
stops the group to listen, (still nothing). He
gets even more volunteers, repeat dance,
sing chant, the final time when he stops the
group to listen someone from offstage yells:
"Would you be quiet! Don't you know its 2:00
o'clock in the morning?"

First Aid Special Effects
First Aid special effects (skin and blood) always made it fun to learn first aid.
Mortician's wax to hold on any funky attachments. Mortician's wax can be purchased at any
costuming store. It was also useful as the "starting point" for bleeding wounds such as bullet
wounds, impaled objects, and lacerations, in addition to open fractures.
Turkey and chicken bones for extruding bones, Plexiglas for flying glass.
Blue eye shadow strategically placed for simulating shock.
Burnt marshmallows exteriors for burnt skin.
Vaseline with white tissues over them simulate blisters.
Ground rouge and then ground charcoal over the top of Vaseline for third degree burns, tissue (either
Kleenex or toilet tissue) over the Vaseline and rouge, then possibly torn and lifted up for the blister)
for second degree burns; this can also be added for third degree burns, just don't use the charcoal on
second degree.
For blood use blue liquid laundry starch with red food coloring added. It sticks well, it gives the
coloration of blood, and dries with the consistency of real blood. Or a mixture of cocoa and water
with food coloring, placed in squeeze bottles drips marvelously. Very gory.
For a simpler simulation of blood: mix catsup and face cream.
