Dear friends,
first of all I want to thank those of you, who answered my request for
scout songs! I found it interesting, that there seem to be allmost only
silly songs sung in America. Is it because Scouting in America is such a
serious thing, that at least the songs have to be silly? ;-)
I would like to share a very nice English scout song I learned a couple of
years ago by some British fellows. If anybody could tell me something about
that song's history I would be grateful. At the end of the last verse, the
scout law is recited, but I couldn't work that out afterwards, so I left
that part out when teaching it to my group and we still enjoy singing it
very much.
