Scouting Around the World(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)

Chorus:Scouts are having fun all over!Scouts are having fun all over!Scouts are having fun all over!The best in all the world!

Around the world, as far away as England or Peru,Whenever there are kids who like to play a game or two,You’ll find some boys who do their best in everything they do,The best in all the world!Chorus

These boys all hike and fish and camp wherever they may be.They ride their bikes and sing fun songs the same as you and me.We’re each a tiny parcel of the Scouting family, The best in all the world!

Hiking In The Woods(Tune: “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round

The Mountain”)We’ll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.We’ll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.We’ll be hiking in the woods, yes, we’ll be hiking in the woods;Yes, we’ll be hiking in the woods from dawn to dusk.

Take Me Out To The Forest(Tune: Take Me Out To The Ballgame)

Take me out to the forest.Let me hike in the wild.Show me a skunk and a few bear tracks.I won’t care if I never come back.But it’s look, look, look at your compass. If it rains, then it pours.And it’s ouch, slap, sting and your bit, in the great outdoors.

Trail’s End Song(Tune: Frerais Jacka)

I am hungry, I am thirsty. When is lunch? When is swim? Have you seen my buddy? Can I have my snack now? Hug a tree, can we eat?

Going to Day Camp(Tune: Oh, Susanna)

Chorus: Going to day camp, so don’t you cry for me. I’ll come back good and dirty, so you’ll never know it’s me.

I scrubbed the night before I left, my hair was nice and clean. My mother was so proud of me, but not for long you see. Chorus

because he scared the Vet.Chorus

Den Camp Song(Tune: Wanderer)

I love to go a wanderingAround the world at camp,And as I go, I love to sing:“My den’s not coming back!”

My leader made friends with hyenas,He gave them a ride on his raft.When a crocodile reached up and grabbed him,The hyenas just sat there and laughed.

Scouting Round the World(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Round, round, round the world,Scouting takes you there.Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Join us if you dare.

North to South and East to West,We want to know it all,So come along and sing our song,We’re gonna have a ball!

Here in the states, we think it’s great,To play the game baseball.But way down south in Brazil,Soccer’s best of all.

In Texas, steaks are chicken fried,Potatoes, they’re fried too!The Chinese like to fry their rice,And Gai Pan is Moo Goo!

The Eskimos wear lots of fur, Because it’s really cold.Others wear no clothes at all…Or so I have been told!

It’s A Bug-gy World(Tune: It’s a Small World)

Chorus: It’s a bug-gy world after all,it’s a bug-gy world after all,it’s a bug-gy world after all,it’s a bug-filled world!

If you’re long and thin and you lay green eggs, and you have four eyes and a hundred legs, then I guess we’re agreed, you’re a small centipede, in a bug-gy world!Chorus

If you suck the juice of a fly you’ve caught, in a web you wove in a shady spot, then with aphid hors d’oeuvre, spider’s dinner is served, in a bug-gy world!Chorus

Scout WetspersSoftly falls the rain todayAs our campsite floats away.Silently, each Scout should askDid I bring my SCUBA mask?Have I tied my tent flaps down,Learned to swim so I won’t drown,

Have I done, and will I try, Everything to keep me dry.

I’m A Mighty Cub Scout(Tune: I’m A Little Teapot)

I’m a mighty Cub Scout; hear me shout!I got power; I got clout!When my den’s together and we go out,Scout’s aims and gains we all will tout!Note: Tout = to praise highly.

We’re Glad to See You Here(Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

We’re glad to see you here,It gives us joy and cheer.Sure, it’s true, we say to you,We’re glad to see you here.

Trusty Tommy(Tune: Yankee Doodle)

TRUSTWORTHY Tommy was a Scout, LOYAL to his mother,HELPFUL to the folks about, and FRIENDLY to his brother.COURTEOUS to the girls he knew, KIND to his rabbit,OBEDIENT to his father too, and CHEERFUL in his habits.THRIFTY saving for a need, BRAVE, but not a faker.CLEAN in thought and word and deed, and REVERENT to his Maker.

Traveling Song(Tune: Home on the Range)

Oh, give me a train, or a boat, or a plane,That will carry us Cubs far away.To Paris or Rome, let us wander and roam,And find new things to do every day.Relax out on the trail in the caves all day.Or glide through the clouds, far over the crowds,But be home by five everyday.

You Ought to Be A Cub(Tune: You Ought to Be a Star)

Would you like to hike in a park?Sit at campfires way after dark?Name a tree by the feel of its bark?Well then you ought to be a Cub.A Cub is a boy, who wants to learn all he can,To learn about himself, about his land.He’s got curiosity, he likes to have fun,He feels good when he gets to help someone.He does his best, and he’s always climbing up,You know you ought to be a Cub.And do you like to swing through the air?On a rope that you tied with great care?Be a Wolf and then maybe a Bear?Well then you ought to be a Cub.
