Dragon-Around
- Cast: Dragon (with head of boy and as many body pieces as you need for the correct number of boys in the den, finishing with a tail piece), Sir Cub Scout.
- Props: Cardboard brushes, sword, flames, feather (large), marshmallow or hot dog, red sock.
- Setting: Dragon comes on stage. Head boy sticks red-socked hand out of mouth occasionally as if fire is shooting out.
Dragon: Ahhhhh Choooo…(as dragon sneezes throw red colored tissue paper on fake bush as if it had caught on fire, do this a couple of times.)
Sir Cub: Now cut that out. Dragon, prepare to be slayed.
Dragon: Sir Cub Scout, why are you going to slay me? I’m a peaceful dragon. I have done you no harm.
Sir Cub: No harm! What do you call all these burning bushes? You are destroying the king’s forest. I promised the king I would take care of you, and that’s just what I’m going to do.
Dragon: But, you don’t understand. It’s not my fault. I just can’t stop sneezing, maybe you can take care of me another way?
Sir Cub: (Reaches into dragon nose and pulls out a feather). Here is the problem, no wonder you couldn’t stop sneezing. But, in order to satisfy the king we must find something useful for you to do.
Dragon: What can I do? Being a dragon is all I know.
Sir Cub: I have an idea. (Pulls out the hotdog and puts it on a stick and holds it in from of the dragon) Now blow on this, you can be the king’s personal cook. His favorite food is charcoal broiled hotdogs.
