The Marshmallow Firing Squad

Props: marshmallows

Players: 3 prisoners, firing squad, commander, 2 guards

This skit requires the commander to sell the idea of the Marshmallow Firing Squad to the crowd. Something like this: "In our Pack, we believe that when a scout does not follow the rules, he needs to be reprimanded. Our preferred method is the Marshmallow Firing Squad. (calling to the guards) Bring in the first prisoner!"

Guards enter from opposite side of stage with prisoner #1. The firing squad prepares themselves.

Commander: "You have been found guilty of keeping a sloppy campsite. Prepare to receive your sentence. Ready... Aim..."

Prisoner: "Tornado!"

The squad and commander all drop and cover while the prisoner escapes.

Commander: "I hate when they do that to us! Bring in the next prisoner!"

A Second prisoner is brought out.

Commander: "You have been found guilty of not washing your hands before cooking dinner. Prepare to receive your sentence. Ready... Aim..."

Prisoner: "Landslide!".

The squad and commander all drop and cover while the prisoner escapes again. Repeat this for other natural disasters.

The last prisoner is brought out and having seen the other prisoners escape decides to do the same thing except he yells "Fire" and the firing squad does.
