Songs – Scoutorama

The laughs and camaraderie that arise from singing songs around a campfire or throughout a fireside program are one of the best parts of being involved with youth programs and scouting. Music has a unique way of bringing people together, no matter how silly, powerful, or solemn the song. For more than 20 years we have been gathering songs submitted by our site users. The list below includes some classics, as well as a lot of unique and fun songs. We've included the tunes, and links to videos of the songs wherever possible. This is an excellent resource for scout groups, youth groups, church groups, and any other community group looking to bond together with music. The songs are organized by several different categories, including: Classic Songs, Gathering Songs, Solemn/Patriotic Songs, and all of the rest. If you're looking for something specific you can search on the page, but otherwise I hope you enjoy going through these songs and finding ones that will make your campfire or event enjoyable for all involved. 50+ Classic Scouting Songs One Hen SongFound a PeanutThe Scouts Go MarchingI'm Glad I am a Girl/Boy ScoutBlack SocksThe Banana SongLittle Bunny Foo FooI am a Boy Scout TrooperAlive, Awake, Alert, EnthusiasticI Don't Want to Go to Scout CampThe Cow Kicked Nelly in the Belly in the BarnDo Your Ears Hang Low?Crazy...Did Someone Say Crazy?The Princess PatTarzan of the ApesThe SkunkShe'll Be Comin' Round the MountainOld MacDonald Had a FarmI've Been Working on the RailroadFive in the BedThere Was an Old LadyIf You're Happy and You Know itBINGOJohn Jacob Jingleheimer SchmidtSippin' CiderBananas, Coconuts, and GrapesWaddley-AcheeThis Old ManThe More We Get TogetherA Pizza HutOh Tom The ToadBill Grogan's GoatBear HuntGreen Grass Grew All AroundOn Top of SpaghettiHole in the Bottom of the SeaFollow Me BoysThe Froggy SongFish and Chips and VinegarThe Ants Go Marching One by OneBoom Boom Ain't It Great to Be CrazyThe Second Story WindowApples and BananasWormsWalkin' 'Round in Frozen UnderwearFather AbrahamIf I weren't a Boy ScoutBananas!AnnouncementsCheesemoose HuntSailing, SailingI'm a Little Cub ScoutI'm Looking Over My Dead Dog RoverTake Me Out to the PinewoodTwinkle Twinkle Little Star (and so on)The Grand Old Duke of YorkMy BonnieGhost Chickens in the Sky 35+ Action Songs for Scouts and Youth Groups Action Songs are a great way to get everyone to wake up!

It's fun because it starts out with a few people singing and grows into a big chorus as everyone arrives. Several of them also put a little bit of razzing on the latest groups to arrive, so everyone will try their best to be on time.
