"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.
