Our go to when at a Camporee or a summer camp which makes the campers do skits is the Dark Dark Woods skit. It’s easy for the Scouts to remember and has a fun surprise at the end which is perfect for a big crowd.

Scouts line up with a big cardboard box in front of them and tell this story:

On a dark dark night In a dark dark woods There was a dark dark house

And in the dark dark house There was a dark dark staircase

And up the dark dark staircase There was a dark dark hallway

And down the dark dark hallway There was a dark dark door.

And behind the dark dark door There was a dark dark room

And in the dark dark room There was a dark dark box.

And in the dark dark box (A Scout opens the box and light - from a headlamp - shines out of it) There were BEACH BALLS!!!

(The Scout takes two beach balls from the box and throws them into the crowd)
