Competition Song
(Tune: When The Saints Go Marching In)
Greater St. Louis Area Council

Oh, when the Pack begins to sing;
Oh, when the Pack begins to sing;
Sometimes, I just can't tell who's the loudest;
When the Pack begins to sing!

(Each Den in turn:)

Oh, when Den ___ begins to sing:
Oh, when Den ___ begins to sing:
We're gonna try to sing out the loudest;
When Den ___ begins to sing:

Oh, when the parents begin to sing; - etc.
Oh, when the Pack sings all together;
Oh, when the Pack sings all together;
That's when we always sing the PROUDEST;
when the Pack sings all together!

Cub Scout Welcome Song
(Tune: Auld Lang Syne)
Indian Nations Council

We welcome you to our Cub den.
We're mighty glad you're here.
We'll start the air shaking
With a mighty cheer.

We'll sing you in; we'll sing you out,
For you we'll raise a shout.
Hail, hail, the gang's all here today,
You're welcome to our den!

Perhaps you as a Den Leader would also like to say a few words to the new boy about the den. Include a word about when the den was organized, the names of some of its former members, and some of the interesting things the den has done.

You can end the welcome by having the Cub Scouts form a living circle with the new boy outside, then break the circle and invite the new boy to join.

Pockets
(Tune: Ruben, Ruben)
Trapper Trails Council

I've got pockets in my blue jeans
Mama empties them each night
And she does it very carefully
'Cause sometimes she gets a fright

Worms in the front ones
Frogs in the back ones
Are some things that she might find
Oh, and don' forget my lizard
They're my friends so please be kind

Something In My Pocket
(Tune: Yankee Doodle)
Trapper Trails Council

I have something in my pocket
That I found behind a log
My leader said to let it loose
But I want to keep my frog
It's cool and green and shiny
And it squiggles in my hand
I also have a wooly worm
And a pocket till of sand
