If I weren't a Boy Scout...
They will stand in a line and all sing "If I weren't a boy scout what would I be, If I weren't a boy scout a "
Then the first boy on the left (Andy since he got the whole lesson from Ian) steps out and says his verse then steps back.
Then everyone sings again the same lines and then the second boy steps out and says his verse then steps back
They keep singing and doing the two lines so everyone goes twice- left to right and left to right.
After the last boy goes the second time, they will all sing "if I weren't a boy scout what would I be, If I weren't a boy scout a girl scout I would be!"
Here are different verses for the song.
If I Weren't a Boy Scout ...
[Tune: This is the Music Concert]
If I weren't a Boy Scout, I wonder what I'd be
If I weren't a Boy Scout, a ......
1. A bird watcher I'd be
Hark a lark, flying through the park, SPLAT!
2. A plumber I would be
Plunge it, flush it, look out below!
3. A mermaid I would be
Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop!
4. A carpenter I'd be
Two by four, nail it to the floor!
5. A secretary I'd be
z-z-z-z get the point, z-z-z-z get the point?
6. A teacher I would be
Rain Gutter Regatta
Ahoy, Mates! This could be the sailing regatta of the century! Although the seas are only 10-foot lengths of rain gutter filled with water, and the ships are a mere 6 inches long, the race is an exciting event. Each boy builds his own boat, with supervision and help from parents or other family members. He also provides the wind for the sail with his own lung power.
Have your boat ready for the Rain gutter Regatta the appropriate pack meeting.
Regatta Rules (from "How to Book" and parent meeting 12/7/06)
- Rigging for sail allowed but stay with the kit.
- Can add accessories.
- No catamarans.
- Hull may be no longer than 7 inches nor shorter than 6 .5 inches.
- Mast should measure 6 ½ inches from deck to top.

Gloop, Gloop went the little green frog
Gloop, Gloop went the little green frog one day,
Gloop, Gloop went the little green frog,
Gloop, Gloop went the little green frog,
and they all went gloop, gloop, gloop.
BUT (drag this word out for a long time, the kid's love this!)
Verses:
We all know frogs go SQUISH (move your leg/foot as if squashing a frog!) when you step on them,
SQUISH when you step on them,
SQUISH when you step on them,
We all know frogs go SQUISH when you step on them,
They don't go gloop, gloop, gloop.
We all know frogs go SPLAT (clap your hands) on the freeway,
SPLAT on the freeway,
SPLAT on the freeway,
We all know frogs go SPLAT on the freeway,
They don't go gloop, gloop, gloop.
We all know frogs go POP (jump and move hands like a jumping-jack) in the microwave,
POP in the microwave,
POP in the microwave,
We all know frogs go POP in the microwave
They don't go gloop, gloop, gloop.

For food, for rament, for life,
For opportunity, for friendship and
Fellowship we thank Thee, Oh Lord
