Re: The Candy Store


I remember doing that skit way back in fourth grade when I was still in American Girl Scouts. I'm a senior in high school now and help lead a Polish scouting troop. (I'm in the process of making a troop website- www.srebrnegwiazdy.envy.nu/index.html- and added a forum and seached for scouting and now I'm here) Unfortunately that skit doesn't translate into Polish. Well, it does, but it's not at all funny. Well, I suppose if you also speak English and remember lizaki means suckers. But not really. Anyhoo, good memories.

Just to get the ball rolling, here's one of my favorite skits. It's great for scouts to play on a camp counselor at the end of a summer/day/retreat camp. I found it at MacScouter.com.






""The Candy Store -- Another Version




Props: Need a Scout stave, or a stick about 1" diameter x 5' long.




Pick out 2 unknowing people from the group to hold up either end of the stick about elbow high. Let them know the stick they're holding in now a counter in a candy store.




Scout #1 stands behind the stick, acts like he's working behind the counter.




Scout #2 strolls up..."Hmm...a candy store...gee, I'm hungry." Goes up to the counter.




#1: "Can I help you?"




#2: "Yea, I'd really like a Hershey bar."




#1: "Sorry, fresh out of Hershey bars."




#2: "Thanks anyway" and leaves dejected.




Repeat the above scene 3 or 4 times with different scouts, asking for different candy bars, all with the same negative response.




Finally, have all the scouts enter the "store".




#2: "Gee, mister, we asked for Hershey bars, Milky Ways, etc., and each time you said you were fresh out. Do you really have any candy in this candy store?"




#1: "Why, sure I do."




#2: "Well, what do you have?"




#1: "Well, especially for you today, right here I have TWO SUCKERS ON A STICK!"
