(tune: Clementine)
 
Far away in jolly England, Baden-Powell lived long ago.
It was there on Brownsea Island, the Scouting dream began to grow.
 
First the troop had only twenty.  Now in millions number they.
Oh, that Baden-Powell could see what Scouting has become today.
 
First a Tiger, then a Bobcat, on to Wolf, Bear, WEBELOS,
Boy Scouts, Vars'ty and Explorers: Round the world our numbers grow.
 
Now we gather here at Pow Wow in patrols, troops, packs or dens.
Learning skills to help al boys reach their potential as great men.
