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!

Where the Webelos roam, 
And the Tigers and Bobcats all play.

And our leaders all work for no pay.

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

Tune: Stars and

Be kind to your Scouting friends,

'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.
