TROOP FIVE, BOY SCOUTS.

Here's to Troop Five Boy Scouts,
Who dress so nice and neat;
They are always on their duty,
They never can be beat.
They have the boys from Pleasantville
Northfield, Linwood, too;
They are a dandy bunch of fellows,
And would do the world for you.
They have their hikes and outings,
Their camps and meetings, too;
They go into things a-shouting,
Winning victories for me and you
Wonders they are doing,
For the boyhood of our town;
They always have a SMILE,
And never do they frown.
There's a job to be done,
It's a tough one, l fear;
1t may take a week,
1t may take a year.
Who will it be?
Here I'M a chap;
Takes off his coat,
Lays down his cap.
Buckles right in,
With face all a-grin;
Fellows, that's him,
The Scout who will win.
So boys, get a hustle,
For championships strive,
Then all give three cheers,
Three cheers for Troop Five.
Composed by Scout Russell Frolerch
and Scoutmaster Ellenberg.
