| Notes: | This is a British variant of the echo skit. One participant hides while the other comes to the campfire. The Scout should raise voice dramatically. The Echo should respond with increasing volume and confidence! |
(One participant, "The Echo," hides in the woods behind the campfire while the other, "The Scout," comes to the front of the campfire.)
[Scout:] Boy, it's been a tough day at camp. But now I've hiked up to the famous Echo Mountain, might as well give it a try. (raises voice) Testing ...1...2... 3...
[Echo:] Testing.
[Scout:] I'm a Boy Scout and I'm trained to live in the woods, (raises voice) right!
[Echo:] (in a stronger voice) Right!
[Scout:] And when it's my turn to cook, if I mess up the stew the rest of the guys can lump it, (raises voice) correct!
[Echo:] Correct!
[Scout:] And I'll tell that to the Scoutmaster too. (raises voice) Check!
[Echo:] (turning to hike away, in an arrogant tone) No one's gonna push me around and treat me like a JERK!
[Scout:] JERK! (Scout does a double take and exits.)
(Freeze. Blackout.)
