Camp Humor - Skits


Recommended Posts

Ok, I have taken a beating lately being accused of having no sense of humor, being the type of guy who would denounce Jesus if he cured on the Sabbath and a few other comments pretty much implying I wouldnt know funny if it bit me on the butt, "And do you know what I say? Ha ha! Do you hear me? Ha ha ha!"

 

Here is one skit I assembled, some parts you may recognize so in the spirit of the Oscars I call it work inspired by previous material:

 

(Three Scouts around a Campfire)

 

Scout 1: I am so glad to be out of the house, all my parents think about is scouting, my dad wants to serve tin foil dinners at my graduation party

 

Scout 2: You think thats bad? My parents looted my college fund to buy Coleman stock when they got a tip they were coming out with a propane powered microwave camp stove.

 

Scout 3 Yeah, well my mom says my dads favorite cologne is Deep Woods Off

 

Scout 1 When my dad redid the downstairs bathroom, the plans called for digging a second , deeper hole.

 

Scout 2 MY Dad was arrested at the airport, he wouldnt let go of his nailclipper until the security guard said thank you

 

Scout 3 Last winter when we lost power for a day my parents started using the 3 pot method for washing dishes, and We are STILL using it!

 

(Scouts 4 and 5 walk onto stage)

 

Scout 4: Hey, what are you guys doing?,

 

Scout 3 Oh, we are just talking about how nuts our parents are over scouting, Aren't you the twin brothers who just joined the Troop?

 

Scout 5 Yes, just joined and our family is questionably the most nuts over scouting, bar none!

 

Scout 2 Oh yeah? What makes you so sure?

 

Scout 5 You want to handle that one Baden?

 

Scout 4 No, you take it Powell.

 

 

(more to come)

This came from the PD at Camp Sawmill, H Roe Bartle Scout Reservation. It's also been done at Camp Lone Star and Camp Piercing Arrow (each of those camps on our great Scout Reservation beds down 500+ Scouts and Scouters a night during the season):

 

We are the Bartle Orchestra, following the count. (Audience repeat)

And people come from miles just to hear us play. (Audience repeat)

Ich kenn spiele (or I can play it...) (audience repeat),

Du kenn spiele (or You can play it...) (audience repeat),

Spielde der (insert instrument here).

 

Then the conductor points to the section that is assigned that particular instrument and they make the noise.

 

Our dining halls divide easily into 4 sections, I've seen combinations of:

Tuba

Bagpipes

Drums

Flutes

Trumpets

Horns

Trombones

 

Instruments which have fun body movements work.

 

I think a Bear Family Camp staffer is going to take it to the Theodore Naish Scout Reservation for 9 year olds to have fun with this summer :)

 

It can also be used for Pack meetings and even Blue and Golds!

this one is topical, and I have to warn you if not changed from this version to a more up to date version during your week of camp, a lot could be lost:

 

Scout 1: Hey Walter how are you doing?

 

Scout 2: Fine, You know I really like Summer Camp, but I miss being in touch with music

 

Scout 1: Yeah, I know what you mean, but the guys in my troop try to find things related to music all around us

 

Scout 2: How do you do that?

 

Scout 1: Well, its like at the trading post, whatever the total I always give them 5 cents more than the total so I can get a NICKELBACK,

 

Scout 2: Whoa NELLY, I think I get it, like what do you call the glow of the campfire coals?

 

Scout 1 What ?

 

Scout 2 EVANESCENCE

 

Scout 1: Can you believe the menu? RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS three days in a row

 

Scout 2: Yeah, thats not right, thats stupid, its outrageous, its LUDICRIS!

 

Scout 1: I really like the Camp Director this year, he is a really nice guy

 

Scout 2: Yeah, I know what you mean, You could say he is a PRINCE among men

 

Scout 1: Hey, I just got a letter from home, my mom judges show dogs as a hobby

 

Scout 2: She does? Thats neat, what breed of Dog ?

 

Scout 1: Yeah, her specialty is the Spaniel breed, you know like Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, Irish water Spaniel, those kinds of dogs There was quite an stir at the

National Spaniel Show last month my mom says

 

Scout 2: What happened?

 

Scout 1: Well, the headline in Spaniels Monthly says it all, BRITNEY SPEARS Number one rank

 

Scout 1: By the way, what happened to your shirt? Its awful dirty, did you get in a mud fight?

 

Scout 2: Oh,no it got STAIND in a PUDDLE OF MUD while I as running through LINKIN PARK it was feeding time at the zoo and I wanted to see the GORRILLAZ eat

 

Scout 1: I guess the Staff/Leader Soccer game got a little out of hand last night

 

Scout 2: Yeah, I hear the staff called themselves THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS

 

Scout 1: Thats better than the Staff Basketball Team, FIVE FOR FIGHTING

 

Scout 3: Hey what are you guys talking about?

 

Scout 2: He is telling me how to keep music in mind by using musical group names in general conversation

 

Scout 3: Oh no, not U-2 !!!

If a day when all camp activities are halted due to heat is a red day, and when you are cautioned to drink 4 glasses of water is called a yellow day, then a day where heat is not an issue is called a

 

(Waits)

 

Audience: GREEN DAY

 

(they get ready to leave the stage)

 

Scout 1: Hey, did you think this skit was funny?

(Walk off )

If you two keep up that TALKTALK, you may create a SCANDAL. The POLICE may come, and it will be an ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. KISS and make-up, or you'll be banned (band?) TIL' TUESDAY. ENOUGH Z'NUFF! On a side note, I am impressed with the array of musical artists listed. I think OGE is really ODB!(This message has been edited by local1400)
