 | Who
Says You Can't Become a Conductor? - We included this link first
in our Song-Links collection for obvious reasons! Sometime or other,
every Scouter is called upon to conduct a sing song. And that's easy,
you just say, "One, two, three sing!", right? Well, unless
the song is three beats to a bar and starts off on beat one, you may
find yourself trying to lead chaos. |

Songs to include some good old Campfire Songs, silly songs and chants
and songs for Leaders. The Campfire Songs included here are ones that
are not that easy to find. Also, you may NOT find some very familiar
songs here. Turns out that lots of songs we sing around the campfire

Bookstore. if you're looking for camping and youth group
songbooks. |

Songs for Scouts to Sing - This the second volume of words to
songs that reflect time-honored singing traditions of various Scout
organizations in English-speaking nations. As with the first volume,
it is short on songs with lyrics that are specific to a particular
Scout organization, focusing instead on those would appeal to any sort
of Scout or Guide, boy or girl. Songs are catgorized by: Action songs,
Friendship, Love, and Peace songs, National Anthem, Rounds and Part
songs, Silly songs, Traditional, and Western songs. |
| For
Scouts' Own - A "Scouts Own" is an inspirational
ceremony, usually built around a central theme, such as friendship,
world peace, save the earth, or appreciation of the world around us.
Neil Savage has collected 87 "Scouts Own's" that are
documented on these pages. Just about any topic consistent with the
principles and program goals of Scouting is appropriate. The important
thing is that it be the work of the kids themselves---from start to
finish. Developed originally for Girl Scouting, many of these pieces
are universal, and translate well into Cub Scouting. |

Songbook - From the Jim Speirs Scouting Page in Ontario Canada,
this is a VERY vast collection! Jim says: "This Songbook is a
compilation of songs that I have collected over the years, either from
training handouts, local publications, and a couple of old Scout
songbooks that came into my possession. I really didn't realize how
many there were until I started to index them all. It has been
supplemented by songs from Rob Quianthy's web site, which, sad to say,
is no longer operating. All is not 'lost', however... Rob sent me
copies of all of his collection, so I've converted his files to my
format and included them here. :)" |

Sing-Along - From Cottage Country Online, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada,
this site contains 72 alpha-indexed, Cub approved songs. As they wax
poetic.... "The warmth of flame on sun-drenched skin, and the
sweet melody of voices rising up into a star-bright sky . . . the
fireside sing-along marks the end of a perfect cottage day! For many
of us the tune is unforgettable, but the words may fade with time. We
hope this collection of old favourites will help spark some happy
memories for you." |

Song Book - US Scouting Service Project - Compiled by Rick Rambo,
Portland, OR, this is a large collection consisting of 110 songs. Rick
says: "This Song book was created in an effort to get my troop to
be more interested in singing, as a part of my Woodbadge ticket. I
used PC Write when I was creating the book, so some reformatting might
be necessary if you want to use the whole book, but you might just
want to use it as a resource for more songs for your unit." |
| Nederlands
Talige Song Pagina - From the Woudlopers/R. Kipling groep in
Holland, this large collection offers both a 'frames' and 'no-frames'
version of the song-book. The focus here is songs for older Scouts,
but there are some good ones for Cubs too. The site contains 105 songs
that are indexed alphabetically. Not all of these songs are in
English, but hey, not all Scouts speak English either! Check 'em out! |

well-done, and waking up your 'sleepers.' |
| Cheers,
Yells and Applause's - More great work from "The Virtual
Campsite" as compiled by Daniel R. Mott, Roundtable Staff
District 23, West Jordan, Utah (With a couple contributions by Gary
Hendra, Pack 105, Milpitas, CA) "Applause stunts are a great way
to recognize a person or den/patrol in a troop/pack meeting for some
accomplishment they have performed. Be sure before you start that
everyone knows and understands the applause stunt and how to do it.
Applause stunts serve more then one purpose they not only provide
recognition but also help liven up a meeting. Applause stunts need to
be fun. Strive for quality of performance in your stunts. |
