SCOUTING IS A CANDLE
Scouting is a candle,
that will light you on your way.
It's trying on your honor and helping every day.
Exploring worlds around you
and looking wider still
Pitching tents out in the woods
and hiking up a hill.
Guitars and voices blended,
under God's majestic sky
Loving those around you - friendships that never die.
The meaning in a moment - in a smile or in a tear,
Makes you a little taller
in each new Scouting year.
A promise to your God and to your country too.
Makes you a part of your world,
and your world a part of you.
It's something that you carry, wherever you may go.
A secret deep inside you,
that only Scouts would know.
But it's the kind of secret
that you want the world to know.
You can't hide all the happiness,
you can't hide all the glow.
A candle glows together,
it shines externally.
Make it shine on everyone,
That's the way the world should be.
