Scout! Look out! There’s an enemy about! There’s a foeman stalking round, Sowing weeds in garden ground— Scout! Look out!

Scout! Be pure. Only thus can you endure. In the camp of your young heart Let no evil thought have part. Scout ! Be pure.

Scout! Beware! Halt! Who goes there? Flash your light on passers-by— Give no entrance to a lie— Scout! Beware!

Scout! Salute! Courtesy is pleasant fruit. Honour to your leader bring— To your master, God, and king— Scout! Salute!

“Be prepared” ; Ready folks are never scared. Be not taken unawares,
