Scout Vespers

Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfires fade away.
Silently each Scout should ask:
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to be prepared?

Wolfeboro

For it is Wolfeboro, Wolfeboro,
Best camp in the land
Scouting on every hand
For it is Wolfeboro, Wolfeboro,
That's where the Boy Scouts go.
"W" is for willing workers
"O" is for opportunity
"L" is for all that's loyal
"F" for fun so free
And "E"
"B" is for Boy Scouts noble
"O" for outdoor life you see
"R" is for reputation
And the other
"O" spells WOLFE-BOR-O
Yes, sireee
