Skits
Here is a list of Pack 793's favorite skits.
Bubble Gum
If no tree is available, Scout 1 stands with arms like tree branches.
If no bench is available, Scout 2 gets down on hands and knees and acts like a bench.
Scout 3 walks in chewing gum, pretends to take the gum out of his mouth, and sticks it on tree.
Scout 4 walks in, leans on tree, and gets gum on his elbow. He pulls the gum off and sticks it on a bench by the tree.
Scout 5 walks in, sits on the bench, and gets gum on his pants. He stands up, pulls the gum off, and throws it on the ground.
Scout 6 walks in, steps in the gum, removes it from his shoes, and sticks it on the tree.
Scout 3 comes in, sees his gum on the tree, puts it in his mouth, and walks off happily chewing.
Doggie Doo
Two or more Scouts are walking along the street, perhaps having a conversation about something, talking about a movie or the latest baseball scores, when all of a sudden:
Scout 1: Hey! Watch out! That may be doggie doo!
Scout 2: (looking closely at it) Boy, it sure looks like doggie doo!
Scout 3: (kneeling down very closely and smelling it) Oooh! It smells like doggie doo!
Scout 3: (touching it) Yep! Feels like doggie doo!
Scout 4: (tasting it) Oh! It tastes like doggie doo!
Scout 5 (or 1): Well! It's a good thing we checked and didn't step in it!
Emergency Broadcast
Line up at least 6 Scouts in front of a Pack meeting or camp fire. A Leader stands behind the Scouts and says, "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! this a test, this is only a test, this a test of the emergency broadcast system. If this had been an actual emergency this is what really would have happened." The Scouts go off in every direction screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Fish
Scouts act like they are digging and chipping away at the ice to make a hole for ice-fishing.
Den leader: (cupping his hands around his mouth and in a low booming voice) There are no fish here!
The Scouts stop what they are doing, look at each other quizically, shrug their shoulders, move to a new spot, and act like they are digging and chipping away at the ice to make a hole for ice-fishing.
Den leader: (cupping his hands around his mouth and in a low booming voice) There are no fish here!
The Scouts again stop what they are doing, look at each other quizically, shrug their shoulders, move to a new spot, and act like they are digging and chipping away at the ice to make a hole for ice-fishing.
Den leader: (cupping his hands around his mouth and in a low booming voice) There are no fish here!
One more time, the Scouts stop what they are doing, look at each other quizically, shrug their shoulders, move to a new spot, and act like they are digging and chipping away at the ice to make a hole for ice-fishing.
Den leader: (cupping his hands around his mouth and in a low booming voice) This is the ice rink manager! There are no fish here!

Ya-Poo-Cha
Scout 1 stands and addresses the Pack, telling of the great solar happening of Ya-Poo-Cha. He then makes up a bunch of stuff about stars/planets/earth alignment, etc.
Each of the rest of the Scouts comes up, one at a time, and asks "is it Ya-Poo-Cha time yet?"
The first Scout says "Not yet young man, please wait quietly", and has them stand in a circle with him.
When the final Scout is in line, the first Scout says "Finally, Ya-Poo-Cha time has arrived. Are you ready?"
The other Scouts answer "Yes!"
The first Scout says "ah-1, and ah-2, and ah-3"
All Scouts join in, "Ya-Poo-Cha right hand in, Ya-Poo-Cha right hand out, Ya-Poo-Cha right hand in and Ya shake it all about."

The following is a dialogue between the Den Leader and the echo (a Scout out of the room or out of sight).
Leader: Hello
Echo: Hello, hello, hello
Leader: Cheese
Echo: Cheese, cheese, cheese
Leader: Bologna
Echo: (silence)
Leader: (to group) Hmmm. It must not be working. I'll try again. (loudly) I am a great Den Leader!
Echo: Bologna!
