I heard the following song at my first POW-WOW last Saturday in the
National Capitol Area Council. There are no credits listed on the
handout I was given. Maybe Mike Bowman or someone else from the council
could inform us. I don't recognise the tune, but it was sung with a
country style.
THE NIGHT THEY MADE THE FIRST CUB SCOUT
Many years ago on this very night
Some people gathered 'round a campfire's light
Everyone was saying the world was in a mess
Not enough people trying to do their best. (So...)
Chorus:
...They took a little Blue
and they took a little Gold
They took a little boy about eight years old
Turned him around and lo and behold
That's how it came about
The night they made the first Cub Scout
-
Now they come in every size, they come in every shape
And everywhere they are, the world's a better place
Every Bobcat and Bear, every Wolf and Webelos
Remembers that night many years ago (When...)
(Repeat chorus)
Tiger Cubs are new, the boys aren't very old
You know it won't be long before they wear the blue and gold
To Search, Discover, Share with their parents in tow
Headed down the path that started years ago (When...)
(Repeat Chorus)
Leaders are the ones who make the program go
And Trainers do their best to put the leaders in the know
How the Promise and the Law help the Cub Scout Grow
And Blossom on the trail that started years ago (When...)
(Repeat Chorus)
