Halloween Witches

PROPS: Black paper mache witches' kettle; colored and white spotlights! A long stick for a ladle; two or more witches costumes; a sheet for Cubmaster; ingredients for witches' brew listed below.

ARRANGEMENT: Colored spotlight is on Den Leader witches as one witch stirs the pot and the other witches add ingredients to the brew. The witch attending the pot recites this poem:

Take one dark night, without a star;
Add one thin cat, as black as tar,
Turn on a wind, to shriek and moan,
Stir in a ghost, with a wail and moan.

Stuff three pumpkins with witches bane,
Top with a slice of the moon on the wane;
Flavor with bats, and things unseen;
Boil and serve chilled. It's Halloween!

CUBMASTER: (Covered with a sheet, enters from the side and recites):

There are queer things you may meet,
On Halloween upon our street.
Witches, goblins, spooks you dread,
Silent ghosts without a head.

Don't be frightened, for you seem
Underneath are friends like me!

(At last line, Cubmaster pulls off the sheet and welcomes the audience)
