The Scouts Winter Song
Sung to tune "If Your Happy And You Know It"
York Adams Area Council

If you have a cold and you know it blow your nose
If you have a cold and you know it blow your nose
If you really have a cold, then grab just one of those If you really have a cold blow your nose.

If you're a Scout and you know it say 'Do Your Best'
If you're a Scout and you know it say 'Do Your Best'
If you're a Scout and you know it, then your deeds will surely show it,

If you're a Scout and you know it say 'Do Your Best'
If you're in a snowball fight, duck your head.
If you're in a snowball fight, duck your head.
If you're in a snowball fight, then don't freeze up in fright.

If you're in a snowball fight, duck your head.
If you sing our winter song, then do all three.
(sniffle, sniffle, Do Your Best, Kersplat, Too late!)
If you sing our winter song, then do all three.
(sniffle, sniffle, Do Your Best, Kersplat, Too late!)
If you sing our winter song, then the cheer will keep you warm.
If you sing our winter song, then do all three.
(sniffle, sniffle, Do Your Best, Kersplat, Too late!)

A Scout’s Christmas
(tune: Jingle Bells)
York Adams Area Council

Dashing through the den,
With a rope held by each end,
Tying a bowline knot
Then showing what I've got.

Whittling with my knife
On a practice Dial soap bar.
I can hardly wait,
Scout camp can't be far.

Bait a hook,
Learn to cook,
Bike ro-de-os.
Neckerchief slides,
Canned food drives,
Learning to take photos.

Pancake mix,
Carving sticks,
Keeps us on the run.
Our families
Make all these
Memories so much fun.

Dashing through the camp,
Putting up the tents,
Popping all the corn,
Blowing that morning horn.

Of scout camp we all dream
We'll soon be old enough
Tigers, Bobcats, Wolves, and Bears
We're made of real tough stuff!

Half-hitch knots,
Setting up cots,
Playing fun new games.
Hammers and nails,
Compass and trails,
Arrow points are the thing.

Santa's coming,
We've been good,
As good as we can be...
Load our stocking
With a pocket knife,
Boy Scouts we want to be!

Thanks to Pete Farnham, CM, Pack 1515, GW District, NCAC, Alexandria, VA

He’ll Be Driving 8 Brown Reindeer When He Comes
(Tune: She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain)
York Adams Area Council

He'll be driving 8 brown reindeer when he comes,
He'll be driving 8 brown reindeer when he comes,
He'll be driving 8 brown reindeer, driving 8 brown reindeer,
He'll be driving 8 brown reindeer when he comes.

He'll be coming down the chimney when he comes.

I'm Playing In The Snow
(Tune: I’m Singing in the Rain)
National Capitol Area Council

I’m playing in the snow.
I’m playing in the snow.
What a glorious feeling
It’s snowing again.
Making snowman tonight
For the whole world to see
I’m happy just playing
In the snow.

Tommy, the Cub Scout
(Tune: Frosty the Snowman)
National Area Capitol Council

Tommy, the Cub Scout
Was a very happy boy
With a uniform of blue and gold
And a den that gave him joy.

Tommy, the Cub Scout
Earned his badges one by one.
He did his best and met the test.
A good citizen he's become.

He helps out other people when
He sees they need a lot.
He does his chores around the house
And feeds his dog (named Spot).

Tommy, the Cub Scout
Does his duty willingly.
Someday he'll join a Boy Scout Troop
And a fine man he will be.
