The Ultimate Program... a Boy Scout's Destiny
Rap lyrics by Spirited Eagle January 2007
Good ol' Baden-Powell was scouting around
Gilwell Park like a big playground
When all of a sudden he saw the lights flash
He could start a big thing that would spread like a rash
And all the young boys would want to join in
'Cause outdoor fun is what's happenin'
And he taught them how hike on the winding trails
How to build a fun fort... just rope, no nails
And signal one another from far away
Semaphore flags up, dot dot dot dash I say
'Cause every young man want to feel the thrill
Of the war game scene and the night time chill
With the skill of knives and the warmth of the fire
Each boy is drawn to it with innate desire
Learn the values well, quench your curiosity
'Cause to be a strong man... is responsibility
This is the ultimate program... a Boy Scout's destiny
It's having fun while exploring, learning to be free
And all the boys will climb high, and reach the peaks that they see
This is the ultimate program... a Boy Scout's destiny
Troop four-ninety-nine is just such a place
"Old Glory" waves on, deep-rooted her base
We gather, we matter, we grow, and we win
Her shelter is broad, she unites all our kin
Outdoors or we'll bust, go shake off the crust
Grab your tents and your packs 'cause camping's a must
We're in this together to support one another
Where every boy here is every boy's brother
And we help one another come up from behind
To reach for the goal with conviction and pride
And the Pack at our back, working on the same track
Marching on side by side, shielding one another's back
We'll deliver the promise Baden-Powell gave us
Scouting skills and adventures and the values we trust
And it's not such a chore cause it's never a bore
Having fun with our buddies has us wanting for more...
This is the ultimate program... a Boy Scout's destiny
It's having fun while exploring, learning to be free
And all the boys will climb high, and reach the peaks that they see
This is the ultimate program...
The Eagle sang out in traditional chorus
Over the fire flew tri-colored bandanas
And the spirit burned in, forever to shine
Depicting a wilderness creature so fine
And christened for life our Scout will embark
On a trail uniquely his own with a spark
To live his life daily by the Scout laws and creed
To help one another... A good deed indeed
And the Beaver had a vision, called the Eagle to his side,
And the Owl spread the message far and wide
Then the Able Sea Otter and Resilient Euccy too
Summoned Pathfinder in sidereal space who
Joining with Roadrunner and Determined Hawk
Invited Skilled Grizzly to scale the rock
Coyote came howling to check things out
They're in it for Life, there is no doubt
Ravens, Panthers, Dragons, Wolverines,
Flaming Arrows setting goals and achieving dreams
This isn't for the weary, Scouting makes you a man
You always try your hardest, do the best that you can
Boy Scouts make this world a better place
Kindness reigning over... the human race
Taught as youngsters to live an honored way
Revering God and nature is their duty every day
This is the ultimate program... a Boy Scout's destiny
It's having fun while exploring, learning to be free
And all the boys will climb high, and reach the peaks that they see
This is the ultimate program (This is the ultimate program)
This is the ultimate program (This is the ultimate program)
This is the ultimate program...a Boy Scout's destiny
