You need 2 boys for this skit–a store owner and a customer.

Customer leaves and walks back in.

Customer leaves and walks back in.
Customer: “Got any duck food?”
Owner: “No! This is a haaaaardwaaaaaaaare store. We….do….not….sell….duck….food.”
Customer leaves and walks back in.
Customer: “Got any duck food?”
Owner: “No! No! No! Like I told you yesterday, we have no duck food!  And, if you ask me again, I’m gonna nail your feet to the floor!”
Customer leaves and walks back in.
Customer: “Got any nails?”
Owner: “No.”
Customer: “Got any duck food?”

Invisible Bench Skit

This skit is best with 4 to 8 scouts.

Cub Scout 1 walks onstage and squats down as if he is sitting on a bench that is invisible.
Cub Scout 2 walks up to Cub Scout 1.
Cub Scout 2: “Whatcha doing?”
Cub Scout 1:  “Just sitting on this invisible bench.”
Cub Scout 2: “Can I join you?”
Cub Scout 1: “Sure!”
Cub Scout 2 squats down to sit next to Cub Scout 1.  Cub Scout 3 walks up to Cub Scouts 1 & 2.
Cub Scout 3: “Hey, what are you guys doing?”
Cub Scouts 1 & 2:  “Just sitting on this invisible bench.”
Cub Scout 3:  “Do you mind if I join you?”
Cub Scouts 1 & 2: “Not at all!  Have a seat.”
Continue the dialog with each Cub Scout coming up to ask what the boys are doing and if he can join them until you get to the last Cub Scout.
Last Cub Scout: “What are y’all doing?”
All Cub Scouts:  “Just sitting here on this invisible bench.”
Last Cub Scout: “No you aren’t. I moved that bench over there yesterday.” Cub Scout points.
All Cub Scouts who are sitting fall down.

Can’t Work in the Dark Skit

You need 4 or more scouts for this skit.

All scouts are pretending to rake leaves or dig with shovels.  One scout just stands there with his arm raised straight as if he were holding a torch in his hand.

Boss walks in.  He walks up to the Cub Scout who has his arm raised.

Boss:  “I’m paying you to work, not to just stand around. Why aren’t you working?”
Cub Scout with arm raised:  “I’m a lightbulb!”
Boss: “Get to work! When I come back, if you aren’t working, you’re fired!”
Boss leaves, and Cub Scouts continue to work.  Boss returns and sees the “lightbulb” Scout still standing with his arm raised.
Boss: “That’s it! You’re fired! Get out!”
Scout drops his arm and dejectedly leaves.  As soon as he drops his arm, the rest look around, stop working and start to leave.
Boss:  “Hey, why are you guys leaving? Get back to work!”
Cub Scouts:  “How? We can’t work in the dark!”

Emergency Broadcast System Skit

One Cub Scout or leader stands to the side or in front.  All other Scouts stand in line.
Leader: “For the next ten seconds, we will conduct a test of the emergency broadcast system.”
Cub Scouts: “Beeeeeeeeeeeppppp” for 10 seconds until Leader raises his hand.
Leader:  “Thank you. This concludes the test of the emergency broadcast system. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have heard…”
Cub Scouts scream in panic and run around waving their hands.

‘We Have No Skit’ Skit

You can use as many Cub Scouts as you would like for this skit.

Cub Scout 1 walks up and slaps his forehead.
Cub Scout 1:  “Oh, no!”
Cub Scout 2 walks up.
Cub Scout 2:  “What’s wrong?”
Cub Scout 1 whispers into Cub Scout 2’s ear.
Cub Scout 2:  “Oh, no!”
Repeat this for each Cub Scout only one Cub Scout is left. He runs up to the group.
Last Cub Scout:  “What’s wrong?”
All Cub Scouts:  “We have no skit!!!”
