It’s a Scouting World
It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears.
It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There’s so much that we share that it’s time we’re aware
It’s a Scouting world.
Chorus
It’s a Scouting world for all. [repeat 2 more times.]
It’s a Scouting world.
There is just one moon and a golden sun.
And Scouting means friendship for everyone.
Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide,
It’s a Scouting world. 

  The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends and my friends are your
friends;
The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Oh, how’s for getting friendly, quite friendly, quite
friendly,
Oh, how’s for getting friendly, both your friends and mine.
If your friends like my friends and my friends like your
friends;
We’ll all be friends together, now won’t that be fine?
The more we camp together, together, together,
The more we camp together, the merrier we’ll be.
For my Scout says to your Scout and your Scout says to me:
The more we camp together, the merrier we’ll be. 

It’s a Small World

It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears;
It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we were aware.
It’s a small world after all.
It’s a small world after all,
It’s a small world after all.
It’s a small world after all.
It’s a small, small world.
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means friendship
to ev’ryone.
Though the mountains divide
and the oceans are wide,
It’s a small world after all. 

If You’re Happy  


If you’re happy and you know it [clap your hands (twice).]
[Repeat.]
If you’re happy and you know it then you really ought to show it.
If you’re happy and you know it [clap your hands (twice).]
2. Stamp your feet. 3. Give the sign [Scout sign]. 4. Shout
‘HOORAY.’ 5. Do all four.

I’ve Got That Scouting Spirit

I’ve got that Scouting spirit up in my head, up in my head, up in my head.
I’ve got that Scouting spirit up in my head, up in my head to stay.
2. I’ve got that Scouting spirit deep in my heart.
3. I’ve got that Scouting spirit down in my feet.
4. I’ve got that Scouting spirit all over me.

 

You Are My Sunshine
Chorus

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you;
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, when I was sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken;
So I hung my head and I cried . . .
I’ll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same,
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all some day.
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you’ve left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams.  

Vive l’Amour

Let every good Scout now join in a song,
Vive la compagnie.
Success to each other and pass it along.
Vive la Compagnie.
Chorus
Vive la, vive la, vive l’amour,
Vive la, vive la, vive l’amour,
Vive l’amour, vive l’amour,
Vive la compagnie.
Come all you good people and join in with me,
Vive la compagnie.
And raise up your voices in close harmony.
Vive la compagnie.
A friend on your left and a friend on your right,
Vive la compagnie.
In love and good fellowship let us unite.
Vive la compagnie.
With friends all around us, we’ll sing out our song,
Vive la compagnie.
We’ll banish our troubles, it won’t take us long.
Vive la compagnie.
Now wider and wider our circle expands,
Vive la compagnie.
We sing to our comrades in faraway lands.
Vive la compagnie.
Should time or occasion compel us to part,
Vive la compagnie.
These days shall forever enliven our heart.
Viva la compagnie 

Auld Lang Syne


Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot, in days of auld lang syne?
Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne;
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
And here’s a hand, my trusty friend, and give’s a hand of thine;
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. 

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come;
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s Praise, than when we first begun.
Amazing grace has set me free,
To touch, to taste, to feel;
The wonders of accepting love,
Have made me whole and real.

Scout Vespers

(Tune: O Christmas Tree)
Softly falls the light of day
As our campfire fades away,
Silently each girl should ask:
”Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared?”
“I have kept my honour bright.
I can guiltless sleep tonight.
I have done and I have dared
Everything to be prepared.”

Cub Vespers  

Softly falls the light of day 
As our campfire fades away, 
Silently each cub should ask 
Have I done my daily task? 
Have I kept my promise true 
Taught to me by old Baloo, 
Always tried to do my best 
God grant me a peaceful rest.

Fire's Burning

(Tune: "London's Burning"; can be sung as a round)

 Fire's burning, fire's burning

Draw nearer, draw nearer

In the gloming, in the gloming

Come sing and be merry 

If I had a hammer

If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning.
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land.
I'd hammer out danger.
I'd hammer out warning.
I'd hammer out love
Bewteen my brothers and my sisters
All over the land.
If I had a bell,
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over the land.
I'd ring out danger.
I'd ring out warning.
I'd ring out the love
Between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.
If I had a song to sing,
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening.
All over this land.
I'd sing out danger.
I'd sing out warning.
I'd sing out love
Between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.
Well, I've got a hammer,
And I've got a bell.
I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love
Between my brothers and my sisters
