The Scout Hymn

Here's the Scout Hymn, which embodies the essence of the Scout Promise and Law. The Year 1 scouts had great fun learning the first verse last Friday. I will get them to learn the entire hymn....

Scout Hymn


Now as I start upon my chosen way,
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play,
Grant as I promise, courage new for me
To be the best, the best that I can be.

***

Help me to keep my honour shining bright,
May I be loyal, in the hardest fight,
Let me be able, for my task and then
To earn a place, among my fellow men.

***


Open my eyes to see things as I should,
That I may do my daily turn of good,
Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean in thought and word and deed.

***

So as I journey on my chosen way,
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play,
Grant as I promise, courage new for me,
To be the best, the best that I can be.
