Fishing Secret
3 or 4 scouts in a group, all fishing and not catching anything. 1 other scout walks onstage, waves to them and they wave back. He sits aways away and starts fishing. He catches a fish and repeats it a few times.

One scout gets up and walks over to the scout that is catching fish.
Scout #1: I've been here fishing all day and haven't caught anything. You've almost caught your limit already. What's your secret?
Fish Scout : (mumble mumble with mouth closed.)
Scout #1: What did you say?
Fish Scout : (mumble mumble with mouth closed.)
Scout #1: Oh never mind! (walks back to buddies)
Scout #1: He's kinda strange. I couldn't understand him.

Repeat with each scout asking his secret until the last scout tries.
Last Scout : We've been here all day and haven't caught anything. What's your secret?
Fish Scout : (mumble mumble with mouth closed.)
Last Scout : What?
Fish Scout : ( mumble mumble with mouth closed.)
Last Scout : Oh, come on. You can tell me, buddy!
Fish Scout : (puts up finger for "just a second", then pretends to spit something into his hand.) I said 'You have to keep the worms warm!' 

Firing Squad
Cast:   4 scouts in a line - to be executed
          3-5 scouts in a line opposite, acting as the Firing Squad
The firing squad marches the prisoners to a spot to be executed.
They line up the prisoners and ask the 1st prisoner if he have any last requests. The prisoner replies no.
The firing squad then follows the commands that are announced, "Ready...Aim..."
At this point the 1st prisoner points behind the squad and yells "hurricane!"
The firing squad turns away to look and the 1st prisoner runs away.

This scenario continues with the 2nd prisoner using "Tornado" and the 3rd prisoner using "Flood" (you can add more scouts as needed.)

Finally, the last prisoner faces the firing squad. The firing squad announces, "Ready...Aim..." and the last prisoner points behind the squad and yells "Fire!" at which time the squad shoots the prisoner.
