Apologies to Paul Simon

[SSScout]

â€I went out camping with my Scout Troop just last week.
The fun and woods there were everything I seek .
                     But I when I got home and counted noses  I realized…
  There must be… fifty ways to lose a camper.  Fifty ways to lose a camper….  “â€

       Just call the roll late, Nate,  Get off to the john, Ron,   Be in a rush,  Gus,   just listen to me….
A  PL that’s loose, Moose,  string out the hike,  Mike,  Just laugh at that boy, Roy , , , 
And let those Scouts be  !

I called my DE up and told him of my woe,  he said he’d meet with me ,
and so to Four Bucks  then we’d go.
He smiled and shook his head “You’re not the first,†he said,
     “There must be… fifty ways to lose a camper….    Fifty ways to lose a camper….â€

          Check your Tour Plan, Stan,   run over those names,  Ames, 

                    call the Micky Dee , Lee,  and calm try to be….
        Reassure mom, Dom,  be cool with the dad,  Vlad ,  get out the cell, Mel,   and call the SE.â€

 

And so we called the Council SE on the cell. 
She told us  to not fret,  she’d see what she could tell.
And sure enough, the family called back,  it seemed that…the kid had stayed home with a cold all along..........

So wipe off the brow, Dow,     Have another cup,  Krup,   
smile and cheerful be,  Dee, 
and set your self…. Freee…..
