Boys will be boys, that's what the fables tell
But is there a boy who does not enjoy
The life of the woodsman bold.
Boys will be boys--that's what the world has read
But Scouts mean to show by their pluck and go
That boys can Be men as well.
Whilst a-marching. marching, marching,
Keep your eye on everything.
You must Note each sound, every track upon the ground,
And the clear, cool spring, and the bird upon the wing,
When a-Scouting, Scouting, Scouting,
There is danger to be dared
And at every turn there is something new to learn,
So boys, BE PREPARED.
