Category: 4 Or More Scouts
Props: None
Notes: All scouts are pretending to rake leaves or dig with shovels. One scout just stands there with his arm raised straight as if he were holding a torch in his hand.

Boss walks in. He walks up to the scout who has his arm raised.

 

Boss:   "I'm paying you to work, not to just stand around. Why aren't you working?" 

Scout with arm raised:   "I'm a lightbulb!" 

Boss:   "Get to work! When I come back, if you aren't working, you're fired!" 

 

Boss leaves, and Cub Scouts continue to work. Boss returns and sees the "lightbulb" Scout still standing with his arm raised.

 

Boss:   "That's it! You're fired! Get out!" 

 

Scout drops his arm and dejectedly leaves. As soon as he drops his arm, the rest look around, stop working and start to leave.

 

Boss:   "Hey, why are you guys leaving? Get back to work!" 

Scouts:   "How? We can't work in the dark!"
