SKIT --- BE PREPARED 
First scout walks to the center of the stage, stands at attention, salutes, and says, "BE
PREPARED." This is repeated by three other scouts. When they are all standing
side by side, a loud motor horn or explosion is sounded behind the audience.
The scouts then all say, 'WE TOLD YOU TO BE PREPARED.'
SKIT --- BALLOON ORCHESTRA
The players in the orchestra each hold a balloon. They blow up their balloons in unison, then
let out the air one squeak at a time to the rhythm of some easily recognized rhythm such as
"Blue Danube" or "Jingle Bells." To end the skit all fill their balloons with air and let them go
at the director’s signal.
SKIT --- THE CANDY SHOP
Ask for two volunteers, who just stand there in the candy shop.
A customer comes in and asks for chocolate-covered cherries. Sorry, no chocolate-covered cherries. Peanut brittle? Sorry, just sold our last peanut brittle. Toffee.
You must have toffee? Um, well, not today. Licorice? Fresh out of licorice.
Well, what do you have? Well, all we've got here are these two suckers.

LEGEND --- THE RAVEN 
Long ago, near the beginning of the world, Gray Eagle was the guardian of the sun, moon, and
stars, and of fresh water, and fire. Gray Eagle hated people so much that he kept these things hidden.
People lived in darkness, without fire, and without fresh water.
Gray Eagle had a beautiful daughter, and Raven fell in love with her. At that time Raven was a
handsome young man. He changed himself into a snow-white bird, and as a snow-white bird, he
pleased Gray Eagle's daughter. She invited him to her father's lodge.
When Raven saw the sun, moon, stars, and freshwater hanging on the sides of Eagle's lodge, he
knew what he had to do. He waited for his chance to seize them when no one was watching.
He stole all of them, and a brand of fire also, and he flew out of the lodge through the smoke hole.
As soon as Raven got outside, he hung the sun up in the sky. It made so much light that everyone
was happy. When the sunset, he fastened the moon up in the sky and hung the stars around in
different places. He dropped all the water he had stolen. It fell to the ground and became the source
of all the fresh-water streams and lakes in the world.
Then Raven flew on, holding the brand of fire in his bill. The smoke from the fire blew back over
his white feathers and made them black. When his bill began to burn, he
had to drop the firebrand. It struck the rocks and went into the rocks.
That is why, if you strike two stones together, fire will drop out.
Raven's feathers never became white again after they were blackened
by the smoke from the firebrand. That is why Raven is now a blackbird.
