Required:
3 scouts
Notes:
1 scout is the doctor and he off to the side of the stage.
Script:
2 scouts are hiking and sit down to take a rest.
Scout #1: Sure is hot out.
Scout #2: Sure is.
Scout #1: OUCH! Darn, I just got bit on the rump by a rattlesnake!
Scout #2: Hang on, I'll call the doctor on my cellphone and find out what to do.
(dials doctor)
Doctor: Hello?
Scout #2: Doc! My friend just got bit by a rattlesnake. What should I do?
Doctor: First thing to do is suck the poison out!
Scout #1: Uh huh. (pauses, then hangs up.) Sorry [Bob], the doc says you're gonna die.

This skit is hilarious, BUT it needs an important qualification (in fact it's a great lesson for this, as long as it is emphasized each time you run the skit):
Modern snakebite treatment calls for NOT sucking the poison out, as it not only tends to be pretty ineffective but can also do damage to the skin. We also no longer use tourniquets nor cut the wound between the bites. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakebite.
