| Stunts & Skits |
|
A campfire stunt (or skit) is like a small play or comedy
piece performed by (usually) the cubs/ scouts at the campfire.
This not only serves to break up the songs/ campfire into
manageable sections but is simply outrageous fun in its own
right. It can also distract the audiences attention whilst
the fire is lit (relit?) or something else is being prepared.
I should think that most experienced scouters know more than
a few stunts, but it is always worth collecting them so that
scouters can swap ideas and stunts between themselves. Eventually
even the most seasoned scouter may be able to find a few new
ones in this section.
A good campfire will have a mix of stunts. Some very short
ones (the equivalent of one-liners in stand up comedy) and
some of the 'shaggy-dog' variety, long drawn out ones with
a punchline at the end, usually at the expense of a member
of the audience (a great chance for the scouts to get their
own back on the scouters).
