(tune: Wasn't it a party?)
 
Must have been my big mouth
Must have been their grin
Must have been that "one night a week" commitment
Boy, how they sucked me in
My calendar's so booked up
I often sit and cry
Tell me, me oh me oh my
Why am I in Scouting?
 
Wasn't for the prestige
Wasn't for the pay
Wasn't for the uniform
I can't stand green or tan
My family only sees me
To wave a quick good-bye
Tell me, me oh me oh my
Why am I in Scouting?
 
Has to be the fellowship
Has to be the fun
Has to be the trainers
They've all been number one
The boys all love the movement
No need to question why
Tell ya, me oh me oh my
I'm proud that I'm in Scouting
