Energy Savers
From BALOO’S BUGLE March 2004
Longhorn Council
Characters: Six Cub Scouts in uniform; one Den Leader in uniform.
Setting:
Den meeting place, decorated as desired. Den leader sits at a table. As
skit opens, all “Cub Scouts arrive together and sit down.
Den Leader:
Today, let’s take turns and tell how we can help to conserve
energy in our homes.
Cub Scout 1:
I know a good way. My mom doesn’t use her clothes dryer as
much as she used to. She uses a new solar energy device called
a clothesline and hangs her laundry outside to dry in the
sunshine.
Cub Scout 2:
My dad said that if we filled a plastic bottle with water and put
it in the tank in the bathroom, it would cut down on the amount
of water used for flushing.
Cub Scout 3:
Did you know that if you take showers you use a lot less water
than if you take baths? Mom even uses a timer, and we have
learned to take 3-minute showers at our house.
Cub Scout 4:
We keep the drapes closed on summer days and keep them
open for light and warmth in the winter.
Cub Scout 5:
We keep the damper in our fireplace closed whenever we aren’t
using it. If it’s left open in the winter, the warm air in the house
escapes up the chimney and that’s a waste.
Den Leader:
(to last Cub Scout): Johnny, do you have anything to add about
saving energy? (He turns to see that he is fast asleep.) I guess
Johnny is the best energy saver of us all. (Curtain)
