SONGS
Ever gone to a baseball game and sung,
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game?"
How did that tradition start??
Harry Caray,
who is credited with singing it first at a ball game in 1971, once said, "I
would always sing it, because I think it's the only song I knew the words
to!" On Opening Day in 1976 Bill Veeck noticed the fans were singing along
with Caray so a secret microphone was placed in the broadcast booth the
following day to allow ALL the fans to hear him. Veeck explained to Caray,
"Harry, anybody in the ballpark hearing you sing 'Take Me Out to the Ball
Game' knows that he can sing as well as you can. Probably better than you
can. So he or she sings along. Hell, if you had a good singing voice you'd
intimidate them, and nobody would join in!"
Now lets apply this to your pack meeting - the worse you sing the more
people will join in!!! I know this to be true, just listen to me sing!! CD

Hey, Look Us Over
(Tune: Hey, Look Me Over)
Heart of America Council
Hey
look us over, lend us an ear,
Watch us advance in Scouting every year.
First we are Bobcats, then we're Tiger Cubs
Soon we're Wolves and we'll go on from there (singing)
Hey
look us over, lend us an ear,
Bear Cubs are next and we want to make it clear
Then its WEBELOS as we earn our arrow,
Soon we are Boy Scouts and we are on the run, (singing)
Hey
look us over, lend us an ear,
Join us in a song and sing out loud and clear,
That Cub Scout advancement is the way to grow,
Stand back parents, here we go!

Oh, here is our home
Where the Webelos roam,
And the Tigers and Bobcats all play.

Make the Wolves give a howl,
And our leaders all work for no pay.

We are earning the ranks that we lack.

Has planned a great year
And we’re happy to welcome you back.

And lots of games, just take your pick
Oh, we’ll all be glad ‘cause
The Cub Scout Fair came to town.

Council
Tune: Stars and
Stripes Forever
Be kind to your Scouting friends,
That's a pledge from one Scout to another.
Be kind to your leaders today,
'Cause for helping they don't get any pay.
Be kind to your neighbors and friends,
'Cause by caring you follow Scouting's letter.
Scouting and friendship are grand,
And as we grow, the world will know,
We've made things better.
