Singing

is

fun,

and learning

to sing

and lead songs

is

an

important part of your patrol and troop program. Songs are a natural for troop meetings, hikes, camping trips, or

when you and your buddies

are simply working

together.

A

good songfest is a part of most campfire programs. Around a blazing campfire you and your fellow Scouts will enjoy singing most.

Songs

will create

enthusiasm and

set a

mood

for your

meetings.

The songs in this book are the kind Scouts are singing every day at camp, troop meetings, and on hikes. Ranging from songs for gay moments to those for quieter times, they are the favorites of Scouts and Scouters across America.

Song Leading Relax, you don't have to be a professional singer or the

campfire songs. Use simple deliberate up-and-down motions with one or both hands to fit the beat or the words. With practice you can develop director of a

and be sure you know them ease.

Set the pitch for songs by humming or singing the first few bars. Get the correct pitch and the whole group will sing easily. If you pitch your song too high or too low, stop the song, get the correct pitch,and start over.

Loud singing a song to

spirit is fine,

but a group shouting

noise will soon get out of control.

Never ask the group what song they would like to sing. You will receive too many suggestions and become confused. Be enthusiastic and wear a smile as you lead songs. The way you feel will soon catch on with the group you are leading.

To teach a song, sing

through a couple of times so the boys have a chance to learn the words and tune. Then try quietly singing it together, so everyone will get the feel of

Close meetings, campfires, or songfests with songs that have a patriotic or inspirational flavor. Lasting impressions will be made as boys quietly sing a favorite closing song.

My country!

'tis

of thee,

Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers

died,

Land

of the pilgrims' pride.

From

ev'ry

mountain Let freedom ring.

side

My native country, thee. Land of the noble Thy name I love;

free,

and rills, Thy woods and templed hills. I

love thy rocks

My heart with rapture thrills Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from

all

the trees.

Sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake. Let all that breathe partake. Let rocks their silence break.

The sound prolong.

Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of Liberty, To Thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light. Protect us by

Thy might.

The Star-Spangled Banner By Francis Key:

Scott

A Flat.

Key

Time: 3/4

you see, by the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous say, can

fight.

we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there! say, does the star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? O'er the ramparts

On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As

it

fitfully

blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the

morning's first beam. In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream— 'Tis the star-spangled banner. long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Do you

think of the valley you're leaving? Oh, how lonely, how sad it will be. Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking, And the grief you are causing me to see.

From

this valley they say

When you

go,

Would you

you are going;

may your darling go,

too?

leave her behind unprotected,

When she loves no other but you? your home by the ocean. May you never forget those sweet hours that we spent in the Red River Valley, And the love we exchanged 'mid the flow'rs.

Roll on, roll on. Roll on

little

dogies, roll on.

The road to that bright heavenly region Is a dim narrow trail, so they say, But the road that leads down to perdition Is posted and blazed all the way. Repeat chorus.

They speak of another Great Owner Who's never o'erstocked, so they say But who always makes room for the sinner Who drifts from the straight narrow way. Repeat chorus. 74

They tell of another great roundup, Where cowboys like dogies will stand, To be marked by the Riders of Judgment, Who are posted and know every brand. Repeat chorus. Courtesy of
