"Skitill for Wilderness Survival Merit Badge" by Matt Dustin

Matt D, Mason, David, Ben A and Ryan are walking across the stage.
Mason starts to fall behind.

Mason: Hey guys, can we take a short break? I’m wiped out!

Ben: Same here!

Matt: OK! We can take a short break.

Ryan: Why Don’t we talk about what’s in our Wilderness Survival Kits?

David: Good idea, Ryan!

Matt: Ben, what do you have in your kit?

Ben: I have a pocket knife, first aid kit, a Game Boy………….

David: A Game Boy? How is that going to help you if you get lost?

Ben: Simple! You turn it on and………….

Mason: You won’t be paying attention and you’ll probably walk off a cliff!

Ryan: Yea, I think that that isn’t a good idea to have that in your kit!

Ben: Aw, Nuts!

Matt: Hey, there’s something to put in your Wilderness Survival Kits. Food! Who has food in there kit?

Ryan: I do! I have a box of Pop Tarts in my kit. They’re the good kind to! Blueberry Frosted!

David: It’s good you brought food, but don’t you think you should have something more nourishing? I mean Pop Tarts are junk food!

Ryan: I guess you’re right.

Matt: Mason, do you have matches or other fire starters?

Mason looks sheepish

Masson: No, I didn’t know that they were on the list of things to put in your survival kit.

Ben: What are you going to start your fire with?

Mason: Napalm!

Ben: Where are you going to get napalm!

Mason: I haven’t figured that out yet.

David: Does anyone have a whistle?

Ryan: Don’t need one. I can whistle myself.

Ryan tries to whistle but nothing comes out.

David: I think you should have a whistle.

Matt: Hey David, do you have a compass.

David: Sure do!

David pulls a compass out of his pocket

Mason: Hey Matt, What would you put in a wilderness survival kit.

Matt: Well I brought my dad’s I Can Survive Wilderness Survival Kit in a Can. It has in it…………..

Matt pulls the can out of his pocket and reads of the contents

Ben: Well, now I have some more ideas for my survival pack.

Ryan: Me too! I am going to put a car door in mine.

Matt: A car door?

Ryan: Yea, so if I get hot, I just roll down the window!

Matt, David, Mason Ben and Ryan exit stage.

"Skitill for how to find your way with out a compass" by Matt Dustin

Nate’s patrol is on stage                                     
Matt D. is walking around and everyone is following him.

Matt L.- I’ve seen this tree before.

Matt D.-It’s a pine tree like all the others.

Matt L. –No, It’s the same one.  Remember the bird’s nest?

Nate- Matt Leno is right.  We’re lost.  We need a compass.

Mason and Nick come running up with their compasses.

Mason-Use mine!

Nick-No, mine is better.

Mason-  No mine is!

Ben- No mine is the best!

Ben pulls a fancy compass out of his backpack and hands it to Matt D.

Matt D. –Sweet.  Uh, how do we use it?

Ben-Simple, point this big arrow at where you want to go then turn the dial so that this red box is over the red arrow.

Matt D. Got it!

Matt D walks around stage again and everyone follows him.

Matt L. Here’s that tree again.  We’re still lost!

Nate- Of course.  We need a map.

Mason- Use mine.

Nick- No mine is better!

Mason- No mine is.

Ben- No mine is best.

Ben pulls a huge TOPO map out of his backpack and hands it to Matt D.

Matt D.  Sweet! How to we use it?

Ben-Simple. Take your compass and set it so that the dial is at zero.  (Mason and Nick sit down with Matt D. and look at their compasses with Ben.)

Ben-Then you put it over the map like this so that the line lines up with the compass so that you are pointing north.

Ryan walks over and looks over Matt D.’s shoulder and is cranking his rechargeable flashlight.

Nick- That’s weird the north arrow on my compass is moving all over the place.

Mason-Same here!

Nick-Mine is too!

Ben –Oh no, Ryan is that a rechargeable flashlight?

Ryan-Yeah.

Ben-When you crank your flashlight to charge it, you move two magnets together and you make electricity.  Your moving the magnets messed up our compasses and now they are utterly useless!

Nate- Now we’re doomed!

Michael- No we’re not. I know how to find my way without a compass.  Watch. You take a stick and point it at the sun so that there is no shadow.  Then you wait a minute or two and there should be a shadow because of the sun rising, that goes from east to west.

Ben-  Great! According to the map we need to go this way.

All scouts but Matt D and Nate exit.

Nate- I think we just found another essential that we need to take with us on hikes and campouts.

Matt D. – What’s that?

Nate – A tenderfoot.

Nate and Matt D exit.

"Photo Album" by Matt Dustin


(Mason, Matt, Ryan and David are sitting next to each other looking at a photo album)
RYAN: These photos are great. Are they from summer camp?

MATT: Yes. Hey guys look at this. This must be the photo that my dad took of Greg when he dumped the can of stove gas on the fire.

DAVID: Matt, what happened to him? He’s got black spots on his face, and he’s……….. Bald?

MATT : Oh, that’s just soot on his face. But his hair has grown back in now. Unfortunately we did lose two tents that night. But Paul, Jeremy and I  set up our tent far enough away from the fire ring so our tent didn’t catch on fire.

MASON: That’s nothing like the next photo.

DAVID: Oh’ man. Whose feet are those that are sticking out of the water?

MATT: That’s Nick. He wanted to dive, and when he did, he got his hands stuck in between some rocks.

RYAN: How did you get him out?

MASON: We didn’t, the water snake did.

DAVID: What? How did a water snake get him out?

RYAN: Yea, how?

MATT:  Well he got so scared that he pulled his hands out from in between the rocks and cut it all up. Something about a black mamba.

MASON: Yeap, four stitches and two bandaids all from my first aid kit.

DAVID: Wow!

RYAN: Mason is that you in this photo? You look like your choking.

MASON: That’s because I am choking. It was Ben’s turn to make dessert and was making baked apple. He should have put cinnamon on the apples. But he grabbed the chili pepper instead. And he put on a lot of it too. That was about the hottest apple I’ve ever had.            

MATT: And then Billy got two toes bitten off by that great northern pike.

DAVID: O yeah, Paul came home with a bandaid on his cheek. But all he told us was ‘The great northern pike did it. The great northern pike did it.’ He was even saying it in his sleep. What happened?

MATT: Well, Paul made an old fashioned fishing pole out of a stick. And Alex, being the good scout that he is, had some fishing line and a hook in his bag. And I guess Paul thought he had that fish. So he pulled the line out as hard as he could and the line came flying out of the water and the hook went into Paul’s cheek. We had to pour water down his throat so he could drink. Because every time he took a sip, water would shoot out the side of his mouth. We could see that pike laughing at him.

RYAN AND DAVID: Gross that’s just gross.

MASON: And all of this happened at summer camp.

MATT: Speaking of summer camp, I have the sign-up sheet for this year’s summer camp right here.
(Matt pulls out a piece of paper and holds it out)

MATT: So if you want to sign-up this is the time.

RYAN: No thanks.

DAVID: Not really.

MASON: That’s ok.
(Matt L, Ryan and David get up and exit)

MATT: Well I wonder what’s gotten into them?
(Matt gets up and exits)

"Letter From Camp" Edited by Matt Dustin

Dear Mom & Dad,

Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, only one of us got drowned (poor David) because the rest of us were all up on the mountain looking for Nate when it happened.

Good thing Mr. Dustin only has to bring back 75% of us.

Oh yes, please call Nate's mother and tell her he is okay. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for
 the lightning.

Scoutmaster Dustin got mad at Nate for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Nate said he did tell Matt Leno, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas will
 blow up?

The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did and also some of our clothes. Ryan is going to look weird until his hair grows back.

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out to the rapids. Scoutmaster Dustin wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and
Nate was afraid he would sink because of his cast, its concrete because we didn't have any plaster, so he let us take the canoe out. It was great.
You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood.

Scoutmaster Dustin isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the trailer so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

Good news, a telegram just came that says that the coastguard picked up David alive somewhere out in Labrador.   

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Greg dived into the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works.

I haven’t had a good night sleep for the past 4 nights, because Tyler snores in my ear in my ear all night. And if you are wondering why Matt is sleeping in our tent when Nick is my tent buddy, well to make a long story short, Matt and Ryan are tent buddies, but the we had the fire Scoutmaster Dustin told us to put our snacks in the bear bag, but Matt and Ryan didn’t hear because Matt was helping Ryan get the bucket off of his head. He had to cool of his hair somehow.

So they left their snacks in their tent. Now there is a big hole in their tent. But it was cool to hear Matt scream like a girl. I really like doing the bear-in-camp drill, but it was a lot more fun doing it for real. Of course Matt and Ryan couldn’t help because they were still in shock.       

And the first night I couldn’t sleep because Ben was crying because he left his teddy at home.

Greg said not to worry. “The teddy misses you too.”

That didn’t help much. Than Ben beat Greg up. That was fun to watch!

I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters & buy some more ammo. Don't worry about anything. We are fine. Not.

Love, Matt

How long has it been since I had my tetanus shot?

"A Scoutmaster Never Forgets" by Matt Dustin and Paul Bergeron


Paul is standing on stage with a pot of coffee in one hand and drinking out of a mug in the other. Paul is wearing a sign that says “Mr. Bolstridge”

Matt enters wearing a sign that says “Mr. Dustin” and wearing a backpack. Matt also is carrying a mug.

Paul: Morning, Bryan!

Matt: Morning, Jeff! How did you sleep?

Paul gives Matt a “You’ve got to be kidding me” look

Paul: Do I need answer that?

Matt: (empathetically) Same here, what was all that commotion around 12 ‘o’clock about?

Paul: Greg was havin’ nightmares…Somethin’ about Ben Abbett beating him up.

Matt: Poor Greg, he can’t help it.

(Paul nods in agreement and they both take a gulp of coffee)

Paul: So where you off to this mornin’?

Matt: I’m setting up a basic orienteering course, for some of the little target First Class Scouts who just don’t quite get it yet like Matt and Paul.

Paul: Really? You recovered from the last one yet?

Matt: Not really…Remember that time when they all were supposed to bring maps of Mount Washington but instead brought maps of Washington State.

Paul: Ya, well it’s not all their fault, you told them to bring a map of  “Washington.” At least we figured out the distance between Olympia and the Space Needle.

(Matt Roles his eyes)

Paul: Ok, well be careful and make sure you have everything because you never know they’ll forget.

Matt: Oh don’t worry, I’m a Scoutmaster I don’t forget anything

Paul: Well there was that ti…..

Matt: (interrupts Paul) I got my essentials, three extra compasses and my five man tent.

Paul: I thought you were just goin’ out for the afternoon.

Matt: Well you never know with…‘those two’

Paul: Do you have your trail food.

Matt: Would never forget it.

Paul: Got you GPS…. *cough*….just in case. 

Matt: Wouldn’t leave without it.

Paul: Flashlight?

Matt: Yes, I have it because I’m a Scoutmaster that doesn’t forget anything.

Paul: Rain Gear?

Matt: I said, I don’t forget anything!

Paul: Bug spray?

(Matt sets down his coffee)

Matt: Ok Jeff, I’m not going to repeat this again so get it straight: I don’t forget anything!

Paul: Stove

(Matt ignores Paul, picks up his pack and leaves.  Paul continues to question him.)

Paul: Map?

Paul: (louder) Water?

Paul: (louder) Sunscreen

(Paul gives up, shrugs his shoulders and resumes drinking his coffee)

MASON WALKS IN

Mason: 5 hours later

(Mason walks off and Matt Dustin enters slow, staggering and desperate.)

(Paul continues to drink coffee follows matt with his eyes, the appearance of Matt does not seem to faze Paul at all.)

(Matt desperately falls at Paul’s feet out of exhaustion.)

(Paul continues to drink coffee all along looking at Matt, after a while he walks up to matt)

Paul: Well what happened to you? Did you forget your food?

(Matt does not react)

Paul: Did you get mauled by a bear?

(Matt does not react)

(Paul shrugs his shoulders and begins to walk away)

Matt: I…… (Paul stops and turns to look at Matt)…..Forgot……My….Cu…Cu…Cu… Coffee.

Paul: Oh (walks away meanwhile drinking his coffee.)

"Skit for Water skiing Merit Badge" by Matt Dustin, Greg Bolstridge, Paul Bergeron, and Ryan Gick


Matt enters stage right. 

Matt: This is a skit about how we did the water skiing Merit Badge. Enjoy!

Matt exits and goes down and sits in the front row.

Greg enters stage right and squats with his arms extended as if he was going to be water skiing.

Matt yells from the front row.

Matt: Ready, Greg?

Greg gives a “thumbs up.”

Greg: I’m ready! Let’s go!

Matt: OK!

Matt makes motor sounds from the front row. Greg slowly stands up, with bent legs and arms still extended and squinty eyes as if water was splashing up into them. This happens for about 30 seconds. Paul enters stage right and walks to about two feet away from Greg looking at him. Then Paul looks at Matt then back at Greg then back at Matt then back at Greg.

Paul: Wow! That’s cool! I didn’t know that they had water skiing on the Wii!

Paul and Greg exit stage Right.

"Skitill for Broken Leg" by Matt Dustin


Matt yells from off stage
Matt: On your mark! Get set! Go! 

Paul goes running up one side of the stage, across, and down the aisle on the other side. Matt, who is a little ways behind, goes running up on to the stage, out of breath.
He stops on the stage.

Matt: The only way I am going to beat Paul, is if he steps in a gopher hole and brakes his leg.

 Paul yells from off stage.

Paul: Ow! Matt, can you give me a little help!

Matt goes off stage and helps Paul back on stage.

 Matt: Paul, what happened?

Paul: I stepped in a gopher hole and I think I broke my leg!

Matt: Where is it hurting?

Paul points to below his right knee.

Paul: Right here!

Matt: Well, let’s lie you down.

Matt Helps Paul lay down on stage.

Paul: There are some sticks over there that you can use for a splint.

Matt: Oh, good idea!

Matt grabs the stick and sets them next to Paul’s leg.

Matt: If I remember right, if the brake is in a joint, you immobilize the bone above and below the break, and if it is on a bone, you immobilize the joints above and below the bone. The only thing that I need is something to hold the sticks to your leg.

Paul: I remember that when we did the first aid merit badge that we used our belts to hold the sticks in place.

Matt: Paul, if I used my belt for the splint, I’d be wearing my pants like a pair of spats.
I have some bandanas in my back pack. Those will work. Let me go get them. You stay here.

Matt runs off stage.

Paul: Well, where am I going to go with a broken leg?

Matt reenters

Matt: Ok, let’s see if this works!

Matt makes the splint. He puts the knot over the brake.

Paul: Hey, Matt, you put the knot over the break and it is making it very uncomfortable.

Matt: Oops sorry! Let me fix that! That is something to remember. Don’t put the knot over the break.

Now that the splint is done, I need to check your toes to see if you have feeling in them.

Paul: What is that going to do?

Matt: Well, if you have feeling in your toes, that means that the blood is getting through to your foot. If it is not, it means that I need to loosen that splint. If the break is on the arm, you’ll need to check for feeling in your fingers.

Matt pushes on Paul’s foot.

Paul: I didn’t feel anything!

Matt Tries again, only pushes harder.

Paul: Nope, still nothing!

Matt Pushes again, only this time he pushes as hard as he can and groans.
Paul shakes his head.

Matt: Hmm.

Matt lightly flicks Paul’s toes

Paul: I felt that!

Matt rolls his eyes!
Matt: Well let’s get you outta’ here. Then I am going to go win that race!

Matt and Paul Exit Stage Right

"Over Heard at a Country Cafe" by Matt Dustin and Ryan Gick

Ryan is sitting on stage a table looking board and looking at his watch
Ryan: Where is he! I told Matt to be here a 6:30! He’s late! It’s already 6:31! Leave it to Matt to be here late on our first morning to breakfast in years! Or at least 6 months! Where is he?
Matt enters stage right
(Ryan sounds happy now)
Ryan stands up and greets Matt
Ryan: Matt! How ya doin’!
Matt: Not too bad! Hope you weren’t sitting here long! I didn’t mean to be late! There was a tock of flurkeys I mean a flock turkeys in the road and I couldn’t just run them over. But the MAC truck in front of me didn’t stop! Good thing thanksgiving is not too far away!

Ryan: Oh, its ok you got here a little late. You are only a minute late anyway. I’ve just been sitting here patiently. Don’t worry about it! 
Ryan sits down. Matt stays standing.
Ryan: Have a seat, Matt!
Matt pretends to be sitting on a chair
Ryan: Matt, what are you sitting on? There’s no chair there!
Matt looks at where the chair should be then looks at the audience then looks back at here the chair should be
Matt: Oops!
Matt falls over
Matt: Ow!
Ryan: See, told ya there’s no chair there!
Matt grabs a chair of the side of stage right, pulls it up to the table and sits down
Matt: So, how’ve ya been, Ryan? What’s new on the farm?
Ryan: Well, Matt, nothing much has changed. I bought a new car since the last time I saw you!
Matt: Nice! What did you buy?
Ryan: A Mustang! Newest model to! A 1939! I almost didn’t buy it! There was another car I wanted, too!
Matt: What kind was it?
Ryan: A 1917 taxi!
Matt: A taxi! You almost bought a taxi over a mustang! What’s wrong with you!
Ryan: Well one’s ‘A sweet ride’ and the other’s ‘Sweet! A ride.’  And all I needed was a ride! Plus it was cute!
Matt: Ryan, you’re the only person I know that could fall in love with a taxi! If you liked it that much, why didn’t you buy it!
Ryan: Well, it had one small problem, which I found out when I went to take it for a test drive!
Matt: What was that?
Ryan: It had no engine!
Matt: It had no engine? And that’s a small problem? Don’t cars come with engines these days?
Ryan: Well, I guess that’s what ya get shoppin’ at a place called (Ryan starts writinging in that air) ‘Ben’s not so hot wheels’ that’s motto is ‘Our cars come with engines! 100% not guaranteed!’
Matt: Nice! You should tell your brother about that! He’s still a police officer, right?

Ryan: Yep, he is! Speaking of my brother, he told me that one day he was using his speed gun on the side of the road when he saw this car drive by with a bunch a monkeys in the back.
So he pulled the car over and told the driver that he needed to take the monkeys to a zoo!
The next day the car drove by again with the monkeys in the back. Only this time the monkeys were wearing baseball caps.
Well, my brother pulled him over, again, and said to him ‘I told you yesterday to take those monkeys to a zoo’
Well, the man replied ‘I did take them to a zoo yesterday. Today I’m taking them to a baseball game!
Matt: I don’t see why they give drivers licenses to people like that! When I got mine, My dad made me prove it! I remember when I asked my dad if I could get my driver’s license. He said if I studied the Bible, brought my grads to a “B” and cut my hair, I could get it.
So I read the Bible, brought my grades to a “B” buy I didn’t cut my hair!
Well my dad wanted to know why I didn’t cut it. I told him ‘I found in my Bible study that Moses, Samson, John the Baptist and maybe even Jesus all had long hair!’
He replied ‘Did you notice they all walked everywhere they went?’
Ryan: Ya know, your dad was pretty smart! So, what did you do?
Matt: What could I do? I Cut my hair and got my driver’s license! You got it right when you said my dad was smart, I could never trick him!
Ryan: You never could trick people, but you’re real easy to trick. In fact I bet I can trick you before you leave today.
Matt: Yea, right! You can’t trick me!
Ryan: What’s new on your farm?
Matt: Well, not much has changed at my farm either. I made it through the winter. It was so cold that when I milked my cow the milk froze so fast that I had to carry it in like fire wood. And my chickens wouldn’t lay eggs, so I rubbed hot water us their legs. Then they started laying hard boiled eggs.
Other than that, I made it through the winter just fine.
But I lost a bull I lost a bull last week.
Ryan: How did that happed
Matt: Someone shot him.
Ryan shouts
Ryan: What! Someone shot one of your bulls? What kind fool would shoot one of your bulls? Who shot him? Well, whoever it was needs to have some since knocked into him!
Matt: I shot him! He needed to be shot! He broke free and beat a guy up!
Ryan sounds humiliated
Ryan: Oh! (Ryan pauses)What happened?
Matt: Well, Al, my bull, hates warm weather. He hates it even more when people talk about warm weather. Well, my farm hand, Mike, came over to give me some help last week. He started talking about how warm it had been the last few weeks’ right in front of Al’s pen! Needless to say, Al got very mad, broke out of his pen and charged Mike! Mike was so scared that he didn’t move and, well, Al gored him! So I went and got my shot gun and….. I bet you can guess the rest because it’s history!
Ryan: KABOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!(Ryan does whistle that sounds like bomb dropping) SPLAT!!!!!
Matt: Yep, you got that right!
Ryan: Poor Mike!
(Pause after this line)
Ryan: I forgot to tell you that I got a new horse?
Matt: Nice! Do ya like it?
Ryan: Nope!
Matt: Why not?
Ryan: Well, I bought it last month from a guy that said that it didn’t look good pulling his wagon. Well, when I got home I found out the horse is blind! So I took the horse back and asked for my money back. The man replied ‘Nope! I told you that the horse was blind and you still took him’. I told him that he never told me that the horse was blind but he said ‘Nope! I told you that the horse didn’t look good!’
Matt: Who did you buy it from, Old Ronald McDonald?
Ryan: Old Ronald McDonald? Who is……. Oh yea, Old Ronald McDonald!  No, he didn’t sell me the horse. But He does make some goooooood French Fries. Hey, did you know that he was in the army with me?
Matt: He was?
Ryan: Yep, he was. He was part of an interrogation team called the External and Internal Extreme Interrogation Operation. Also known as the EIEIO.
Matt: Wow! I didn’t know that. That’s cool! What was the weirdest thing that happened to you when you were in the army?
Ryan: Well, one time when I was of duty for a while and at home. I got a letter from HQ that said “Dear Ryan, We regret to inform you but you have been killed in action!”
Matt: Wow! What did you do?
Ryan: I was so shocked that I died of a heart attack. But thankfully it was during a thunder storm. So they attached the ground wire of our lightning rod to my chest just as it got struck by lightning. Then I remembered it was May 1.
Matt: What did that have to do with it?
Ryan: Well, instead of April 1st being April Fools, May 1st is May Tricks!
Matt: You’re just trying to trick me!
Ryan: Yea, your right!
Matt: Speaking of electri, electrocicole, ho the lighting juice, my sister that lives way out in the country told that one day when she was out sweeping off her porch, this guy drives up in front of her house, jump out and tries to convince her to buy this vacuum cleaner. Then he pulls out this bag of dirt and dumps it on her porch. Then he says ‘if my vacuum can’t suck that up, I’ll eat it myself.’ Well she told him that he’d better start chompin’ because see didn’t have power out there. I think he eat it too.
Ryan: I hear that dirt is good for the digestive system.
Matt picks up a coffee mug and is about to drink from it but suddenly stops
Matt: Hey, what’s this bug doing in my coffee?
Ryan: Probably the back stroke!
Matt: Ha, ha! Very funny! Everyone knows that flies don’t do the back stroke……. They do the crawl!  
Matt picks the fly out of coffee and drinks it ALL down in one gulp. Then Matt looks at his watch.
Matt: Look at the time! I need to get going! I have a date today! And it’s not with a taxi!
Ryan: Then what is it with!
Matt: A bucket of dried prunes!
Matt gets up and starts to leave, but his shoelace is untied.
Ryan: Matt, your shoelace is untied
Matt trips over his shoelace!
Ryan: I want say “Should have listened to me”……… All I’ll say is “told ya so!” and “I tricked you”!
Matt exits
Ryan: I can’t believe he was late!
Ryan gets up and exits
