  Most of my muscle is between my ears.

  I’m first in line for the chow basket call.

(Pulls out bag of cookies and begins eating.)

• I’m known as the champion of the high jump,
  One time I missed and got a big lump.

(Rubs head, with painful expression on face.)

• To keep in shape, I exercise each day,

SPORTSMANSHIP SKIT 
Sam Houston Area Council
This could also be an opening or closing ceremony

Materials: Large cards with the letters S P O R T S M A N S H I P. You’ll need the Cubmaster and 13 Cub Scouts, each with one letter.  Cards could also have an appropriate picture on front and the words on back in LARGE print.

As the Cubmaster reads the letters, the boys show their cards and then continue to hold them up for the rest of the ceremony.

Cubmaster:      Whenever we compete in a sports event, we need to remember something very important. We’ll do it with a spelling lesson.

Cubmaster then calls out each letter in turn,
After calling a letter CM waits for the Cub to say his part.

• S is for smiling, even if you hurt inside.
• P is for pardoning parents who may show poor manners. 
• O is for oozing enthusiasm for you and your fellow den members. 
• R is for respecting the feelings of other Cub Scouts.
• T is for trying your best and
• S is for being satisfied with yourself
• M is for mastering self-control.
• A is for anger, which has no place in our meetings.
• N is for noticing that sometimes only one can win.
• S is for success in doing your best.
• H is for hushing boastful words.
• I is for inspiring us to congratulate the winner.
• P is for playing for fun.

Cubmaster:       Let us remember the word “Sportsmanship” as we “Go for the Gold” during our Olympics tonight.

Gold is Where Ya Find It
Great Salt Lake Council

Props-        Pie tins, old flannel shirts, old hats, maybe a shovel, a large gold cardboard heart with double-stick tape on one side! 

Set Up:        All boys put on old shirts and hats except for one that stays in full uniform.

One boy dressed in a flannel shirt comes out on stage and uses the pie tin as if panning for gold.

After a moment, another walks out and asks, “Hey, Find any gold?”

The reply is “NO!” and the second boy bends down and begins to pan as well.

This continues for each boy in your den, till you get to the last one (The one in uniform).

The Cub in uniform comes out and asks “Hi, have you guys found any Gold yet?”

The reply from all this boys is “NO!”

With that, the ‘Scout’ says: “Well Maybe you are looking in the wrong place!”

With that, he goes and gets the Cubmaster and brings him to the group. 

The Cub puts the gold heart on the Cubmaster’s chest and all the boys shout: “Your right!  Gold is where you find it!”
