Boot Camp Buddies - Trust

🎖 Boot Camp Buddies – Trust 🎖

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” (Proverbs 3:5)

Trust the process? Maybe. Trust week-old fried egg sandwiches? Not so much. 😬

The Camp Follow-You recruits are settling in, learning about teamwork, faith, and—of course—the best part of camp… the food! But when Chester Romeo Hunkalunk arrives dragging a mysteriously large snack box all the way from Goose Feathers, Iowa, things get… questionable.

• Can Hunkalunk trust his "delicacies" to last?
• Can the recruits trust their training?
• And most importantly, can they all learn what it truly means to trust the General?

This hilarious and faith-filled skit is the second installment of Boot Camp Buddies, where laughter meets life lessons in a way your audience won’t forget.

Scene: Camp Follow-You. MICHAELS and ADAMS are lounging on stage, relaxed after a long day at camp.

ADAMS:
So Michaels, how are you enjoying Camp Follow-You so far?

MICHAELS:
Awesome! Learning so much, and everyone is so friendly! What about you, Adams?

ADAMS:
If you told me that camp could be this much fun, I wouldn’t have believed you!

MICHAELS (rubs tummy):
And the food! Wow, I think I put on 10 pounds last night at chow time.

ADAMS:
Know what I like best?

MICHAELS:
Doing crafts?

ADAMS:
Well, that’s awesome too, but my favoritest thing is sitting with the Sergeant and the rest of the staff, talking about the General and the plans he has for his army.

MICHAELS:
You are so right on! And how we can always trust the General, no matter what.

HUNKALUNK enters, struggling to carry/pull a big, heavy box.

ADAMS:
What you got in there, Hunkalunk?

HUNKALUNK:
A snack.

MICHAELS:
You mean you brought all that along to Camp Follow-You just for a snack?

HUNKALUNK:
Yup.

ADAMS:
What kind of snack?

HUNKALUNK:
Sandwiches.

ADAMS:
You mean to tell me that huge box is full of sandwiches?

HUNKALUNK:
For a fact.

MICHAELS:
But there has to be enough in there to, like... feed an army.

HUNKALUNK (whispers, looking around nervously):
Private person... look around... this is for sure, like... the army.

MICHAELS:
I know, Hunkalunk, but you are only one person!

HUNKALUNK:
Like my Momma always says, I be a growin’ boy—needs my snacks to grow on.

ADAMS:
Where did you get the snacks from?

HUNKALUNK:
Momma.

ADAMS:
You mean way back in...

HUNKALUNK:
In Goose Feathers, Iowa, for sure.

MICHAELS:
And you have been traveling how long?

HUNKALUNK:
Last four days on the PWC bus.

MICHAELS:
PWC would stand for...?

HUNKALUNK:
Pretty Wobbly Coachlines, as I recollect.

ADAMS:
And after all this time, you still plan to eat these sandwiches?

HUNKALUNK:
Nothing quite compares to Momma’s fried egg sandwiches, I tell ya! Before I left Goose Feathers, Iowa, I wondered, could I trust the folks here at Camp Follow-You to keep me proper fed? So my Momma says, “Why don’t you bring lots of fried egg sandwiches along in case you go and get hungry?”

MICHAELS:
And you trust that the sandwiches will still be OK to eat five days later?
