Ole, Champion Tree Climber Skit

2 scouts

This is a campfire skit and works best outside where there are bushes and trees. It is an MC run-on to fill in between other skits.

MC: (to audience) You are lucky to be here this evening. You will witness a tree climbing demonstration by the world-record tree climber, Ole Petersen. Ole, come on down!

Ole: Hiya, it's sure good to be here, yah!

MC: Well, Ole, are you ready to demonstrate your skills? Go ahead and find a tree out there and start climbing!

(Ole runs offstage left or right into the woods out of sight. MC gives him a while to start 'climbing')

MC: Ole! How high are you?
Ole: Oh, I'd say I'm about 25 feet up. It's pretty hard climbing.
MC: Well, we'll check in with Ole after this next [skit, song, announcement,...]

(do another skit. When it is finished, check in with Ole)

MC: Hey, Ole, how high are you now?
Ole: Oh, I'd say I'm up about 50 feet now! The air's getting a little thin.
MC: Wow! He's doing great! Keep it up, Ole! We'll check in with Ole after this next skit.

MC: Hey, Ole, how high are you now?
Ole: Oh, I'd say I'm up about 100 feet now! I can see for miles up here!
MC: Ole! The tallest trees in this forest are only 70 feet!
Ole: Aaaaaaaaaahhhh! (make crashing noise in bushes)
