Pack Up Camp, Scouts
(to the tune of “Leave Her, Johnny”)

I heard the Senior Patrol Leader say,
“Pack up camp, Scouts, pack up-
Our Scoutmaster’s gone a little more gray,
And it’s time for us to pack up.”

Chorus:
Pack up camp, Scouts, pack up,
Oh pack up camp, Scouts, pack up!
The week was fun but now it’s done,
And it’s time for us to pack up.

The latrines were bad but the food was worse-
Pack up camp, scouts, pack up-
It tasted like cardboard and liverwurst,
And it’s time for us to pack up.

Chorus

Three nights of rain and one of hail;
Pack up camp, scouts, pack up-
We thought we heard the sirens wail,
And it’s time for us to pack up.

More verses to come, as I work on it. Or feel free to suggest your own.

songs, scouting
