The Ugly Pumpkin Skit - A great Cub Scout skit for Halloween

THE UGLY PUMPKIN SKIT
All the boys are sitting around with their arms wrapped around their knees (acting like a PUMPKIN) In front of a sign that says "PUMPKIN PATCH" 
Pumpkin 1: Man I HATE Halloween!
Pumpkin 2: Ya, me too. 
Pumpkin 3: Why - what's the matter with halloween? 
Pumpkin 4: You guys break the news to the new guy.... 
Pumpkin 5: First, they cut off your vine! (PUMPKIN 2 looks worried) 
Pumpkin 6: ya, then they cut your head open! (PUMPKIN 2 GRABS HIS HEAD) 
Pumpkin 7: and pull out your guts! (PUMPKIN 2 GRABS HIS TUMMY) 
Pumpkin 8: then they cut you up with a saw! 
Pumpkin 9: or a knife! 
Pumpkin 10: or a drill! 
Pumpkin 11: THEN they put a candle in you to light you up! 
Pumpkin 12: and leave you on the porch to rot for months!! 
Pumpkin 3 (looking scared to death): NO WAY! How do we get out of it? 
Pumpkin 4: QUIET EVERYONE - I know a way - just be as UGLY as possible, then they won't pick you! 
ALL Pumpkins: OK - ya, let's do that! (Two people enter the stage) 
The pumpkins all say: shhhhh - here come some people everyone - BE UGLY! (The two people walk around the pumpkin patch shopping for a pumpkin) 
Shopper 1: man, all of these pumpkins are TOO ugly for halloween! 
Shopper 2: Ya, These pumpkins are REALLY ugly! 
Shopper 1: Even too ugly for a jack-o-lantern! 
Shopper 2: Ya, let's go look somewhere else! (all the pumpkins are giving each other the thumbs up and a WHEW!) 
Then Shopper 1 turns around and says: WAIT! They will be perfect for PUMPKIN PIE! 
All the pumpkins scream in pain! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Arrow of Light Plaque

A special thank you to Stephanie Ellinger in the Hobble Creek District, Utah National Parks Council for letting us post her great idea.

We are making another Arrow of Light Plaque for a boy in our pack. I thought I'd share a picture of what we've done. These boys work incredibly hard for three years of cub scouts to get this. I get the pins and badges from the parents and buy a couple of patches as "fillers". The sun and arrow are just cut vinyl and we screw in hooks to hang the actual arrow. The boys really look forward to getting this and it's a big motivator for them.
