  We study the low energy expansion of the nucleon's electroweak form factors
in the framework of an effective chiral Lagrangian including pions, nucleons
and the $Delta (1232)$. We work to third order in the so-called small scale
expansion and compare the results with the ones previously obtained in the
chiral expansion. In addition, these calculations serve as a first exploratory
study of renormalization and decoupling within the small scale expansion.
