The MacScouter's Songs for Scouts and Scouters collection has grown quite large. It has now expanded beyond Gross Songs to include some good old Campfire Songs, silly songs and chants and songs for Leaders. The Campfire Songs I have tried to include here are ones that are not that easy to find. You may not find some very familiar songs here. Turns out that lots of songs we sing around the campfire are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced on a Web Site. I will continue to seek songs that can be placed here, while avoiding any copyright infringement.

The Grand Old Captain Kirk
Tune: "A-Hunting We Will Go"
The Grand Old Captain Kirk
He Had A Thousand Men,
He Beamed 'em Up To The Enterprise
Everyone stands up
And Beamed 'em Down Again.
Everyone sits down
And When You're Up Your Up,
Everyone stands up
And When You're Down Your Down,
Everyone sits down
And When You're Only Half Way Up,
Everyone half-way up
You're Nowhere to Be Found.

Purple Stew
Making a purple stew, whip, whip
Whip Whip Whip (pretend to stir a huge bowl, circular motion with arms)
Making a purple stoobie-doobie-oobie-doobie
Purple potatoes, and purple tomatoes and (pretend to throw things in from over your shoulder)
You in my purple stew. (person in middle points to someone)
Fancy meeting you in my purple stew. (the two shake hands)
Everyone stands in a circle while one person stands in the middle. While you are singing the song perform the actions. When you say "You in my purple stew" the person in the middle points to someone and that person joins the middle. On "Fancy meeting you..." the person who was just pulled into the circle shakes hands with the person who brought him there.
Scouting Spirit

I've got that Scouting spirit,

Up in my head,
Up in my head,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Up in my head to stay.
I've got that Scouting spirit,
Deep in my heart

I've got that Scouting spirit,
Down in my feet
continue as in first verse
I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me
continue as in first verse
I've got that Scouting spirit,
Up in my head,
Deep in my heart,
Down in my feet,
I've got that Scouting spirit,
All over me,,
All over me to stay.
Akela's Trail
Tune: It's A Small World
It's a world of fun, it's a world of joy,
And a smile comes easy to every boy.
Things that we've learned today,
Lead along Akela's way.
We are Cub Scouts after all.
Chorus:
We are Cub Scouts after all,
To all Cub Scouts send the call.
Show Akela we stand tall,
We are Cub Scouts after all.
When we seek our quest, we will do our best,
On Akela's trail, we will never fail.
Without any doubt's,
We will be loyal Scouts.
We are Cub Scouts after all.
Chorus
A Scout Is: The Boy Scout's Anthem
Tune: Away in a Manger
Submitted by: Bill Hafker
A scout is a young man who lives by a code,
To protect his honor, and take the high road,
He faces temptation, but doesn't give in,
The scout law gives him the foundation to win.
A scout is trustworthy, he's loyal, true blue,
Helpful, friendly, courteous to me and to you
Kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty every cent,
A scout is brave, clean, and reverent.
A scout is trustworthy, faithful to the end,
In keeping his promises, you can depend,
He's loyal to family, school, and to friends,
And to our great nation that he defends.
A scout is helpful to all those in need,
Reward he seeks not, it is just a good deed,
He's friendly to people, all races and creeds,
A trait that he knows that the world sorely needs.
A scout is courteous, says "please" and "thank you",
It's something he learned as a child to do,
He is also kind, he's not spiteful or snide,
It's strong to be gentle, he knows deep inside.
A scout is obedient of rules that are there,
And works from within to change those deemed unfair,
He's cheerful, he smiles, looks for the bright side,
And helps dry the tears of others who've cried.
A scout is thrifty, of his goods he takes care,
And protects the world, and the things God put there,
He's brave, but not foolish, does not pick a fight,
But always defends what he knows to be right.
A scout is clean in thought, word, and deed,
Helps others to learn and to share these beliefs,
He is always reverent of our God above,
Reaches out to others to share His great love.
On my honor I will do my best,
To God and my country, to face every test,
To obey the Scout Law, help others always,
Be strong, and be wise, and morally straight.
A scout is a young man who's lived and who's dared,
To always help others, and to be prepared,
Come join the adventure, like others who knew,
A good turn done daily, the world does renew.
Scouting makes the future a bright thing to view!
I Am a Cub Scout
I am a Cub Scout
And a very happy boy.
With a uniform of blue and gold
And a den that gives me joy.
I am a Cub Scout
Earning badges one by one
I do my best and I meet the test
A god citizen I've become.
I help out other people when
I see they need a lot.
I do my chores around the house
And I feed my dog named spot.
I am a Cub Scout
Doing my duty willingly.
Someday I'll join a boy scout troop
And a fine man I will be.
Take Me Out to the Scout Camp
Tune: "Take Me Out to the Ballpark"
Take me out to the scout camp,
Take me out with my Troop,
Buy me some goodies and leathercrafts,
I don't care if I ever get back,
For it's swim, shoot, climb with the camp staff
If they're not trained it's a shame
For it's 1, 2, 3 miles you hike at the old scout camp
Scout Camp
The busses that you ride in, they say are mighty fine,
But when they turn a corner, they leave the wheels behind.
Chorus
Oh, I donʼt want to go to Boy/Girl Scout Camp.
Gee, Mom, I want to go, but they wonʼt let me go;
Gee, Mom, I want to go home.
The leaders that they have here, they say are mighty fine,
But when you get up closer, they look like frankenstein.
The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine,
But if you cut your finger, youʼre left with only nine.
The water that they have here they say is mighty fine,
But when you try to drink it, it tastes like turpentine.
The biscuits that they serve you, they say are mighty fine,
But one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine.
The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line.
The cocoa that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
Itʼs good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine.
The tents/cabins that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine,
But whoever said this has never slept in mine.
The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get,
Last night my tent mate had to go, they havenʼt found him yet.
