Script:
Cub Scout 1 walks happily across the stage, looking up at trees and pointing at imaginary animals.
CUB SCOUT 1: What a beautiful day for a hike! Look at those tall trees! And I think I see a squirrel!
Cub Scout 1 suddenly stops, gasps dramatically..
CUB SCOUT 1: Oh my… I don’t feel so good…
Cub Scout 1 falls in exaggerated slow motion.
Cub Scout 2 and Cub Scout 3 enter, chatting and pointing at nature.
CUB SCOUT 2: Did you see that bird?
CUB SCOUT 3: Yeah—whoa! Someone needs help!
They rush over to where Cub Scout 1 is laying on the ground.
CUB SCOUT 2: Stay calm! We learned what to do!
CUB SCOUT 3: First — check the scene!
Cub Scout 2 and Cub Scout 3 dramatically scan the area.
CUB SCOUT 2: No runaway scooters… no falling branches… no stampeding squirrels…
CUB SCOUT 3: The scene is safe!
CUB SCOUT 2: Pretends to use a phone. Hello, 911? We need help! We’re on a hiking trail next to a big oak tree! Please come quickly!
CUB SCOUT 3: I’ll check for breathing!
Cub Scout 3 leans in dramatically and listens.
CUB SCOUT 2: I’ll check for a pulse!
Cub Scout 2 checks wrist, then shakes head.
CUB SCOUT 2: No pulse! We need to start CPR!
Cub Scout 2 pretends exaggerated chest compressions.
CUB SCOUT 2: Counting loudly. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!
CUB SCOUT 3: Pretending to do big dramatic breaths. Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
Cub Scout 2 pretends exaggerated chest compressions again.
CUB SCOUT 2: Counting loudly. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!
CUB SCOUT 3: Pretending to do big dramatic breaths. Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
CUB SCOUT 2: Shaking arms. Whew! My arms are tired. Let’s switch!
All three suddenly pop up and scramble around, switching places. Now Cub Scout 3 is the “victim,” and Cub Scout 1 and 2 are rescuers.
CUB SCOUT 1: I’ll do compressions!
Cub Scout 1 pretends exaggerated chest compressions.
CUB SCOUT 1: Counting loudly. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!
CUB SCOUT 2: Pretending to do big dramatic breaths. Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
Cub Scout 1 pretends exaggerated chest compressions again.
CUB SCOUT 1: Counting loudly. 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!
CUB SCOUT 2: Pretending to do big dramatic breaths. Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
Cub Scout 3 suddenly sits up.
CUB SCOUT 3: Hey! I feel great now! Thanks!
All three look confused and point at each other, then shrug their shoulders. The three Cub Scouts all stand up together and walk off stage, pretending to continue their hike by looking up at trees and pointing at imaginary animals.
