## Skits

Skits are mostly done at campfires and Troop Nights. Skits should last only in-between 3-5 minutes. Here are a few Skits for you to take a note on;

### Clean Socks Skit

![](/files/-MRpZReh32HCa1gmwAPX)

#### Required:

* 5 scouts
* A pile of socks

#### Script:

**Scout #1**: (could be a leader instead) Hey, everybody! Our new socks have arrived! Come and get 'em!\
\[other scouts run onstage and line up to receive socks.]

\
**Scout #1**: OK, Johnny, how many socks do you need?\
**Scout #2**: I need 2 pair.\
**Scout #1**: Just two?\
**Scout #2**: Yes, I wear one pair for a week while the other pair is in the dirty wash.\
**Scout #1**: Yuch! Oh well, here you go.\
\
**Scout #3**: I need 4 pair.\
**Scout #1**: Why 4 pair?\
**Scout #3**: I put on a fresh pair on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.\
**Scout #1**: Well, that's better than wearing them a whole week. Here you go.\
\
**Scout #4**: I need 7 pair.\
**Scout #1**: Great. I bet that's a fresh pair every day, right? \[gives the socks]\
**Scout #4**: Right!\
**Scout #1**: That's what I like. A clean scout! Here you go.\
\
**Scout #5**: 12 pair please!\
**Scout #1**: 12!? Man, you must really be clean. Why 12 pair?\
**Scout #5**: Well, there's January, February, March, ...

### Listen! Skit

![](/files/-MRpZd868fw-mFPtUoWS)

#### Script:

One scout comes onstage and starts listening intently to something far off up in the air.\
The rest of the scouts walk up to him.\
**Scouts**: Hey, what are you doing?\
**Scout #1**: Listen!\
(other scouts stop and listen.)\
**Scout #2**: I don't hear anything.\
**Scout #1**: LISTEN!\
**Scout #3**: I don't hear anything either.\
**Scout #1**: You know, It's been like that all day!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://badgework.prepscouts.lk/presidents-scout-award/skills-in-art-and-hobbies-3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
