Run ons are the little brothers of skits. They are very brief intermission in a campfire program. Sometimes it is just a single interruption to the program, sometimes they are in series. The group of run ons below can be used either way. The first three will each stand alone. But if they are done throughout a campfire program, the Scouts will start looking forward to the next one. In each case, Person 1 enters the stage all agitated and Person 2 asks what is wrong.
