The Infantry Is Coming

| Props: | Small tree (can be a branch or stick) |
| Notes: | This skit builds suspense with repetition. Each Scout should run out more frantically than the last. The final reveal with the tiny tree is the punchline. Timing is everything! |
(A Scout runs out on stage yelling, "The infantry is coming, the infantry is coming.")
(Later, you can do this seconds later or after the next song or skit, a second Scout comes out yelling, "The infantry is coming, the infantry is coming.")
(This happens three or four times.)
(Finally, one or two Scouts come out on stage holding a small tree and they proclaim, "The infant tree is here!")
(Freeze. Blackout.)
