took a trip to brownsea island
just a ride out from Poole bay
where baden Powell created
the scouts movement one fine day
with just 10 public school boys
plus ten boys from Poole town
he led the first scout camp
at a cost of less than half a crown
on brownsea was a hermit
in the 7th century
he lit fires to warn boats of danger
perils on the sea
now in august this year we all celebrate
the scouts 100th year anniversary
took a trip to brownsea island
to see the pheasants on display
the red squirrels running freely
the cockells in the bay
the sandbanks at Poole quayside
see all the grockells here to stay
the boats are in Poole harbor
on such a lovely summers day
see the camps all on the island
the zunners all at play
