Poetic Verses
Scouting
As a boy it was such a very happy occasion
Being a scout, as our group went on an expedition
Hiking for miles over those rough and rock terrain
Because of this much knowledge was often gain.
Sometimes we will climb up those rock by the beach
Looking at the mollusks,and the crab as they hurried out of reach
Then in the calmer waters, we would swim,and did some kayaking
Also got an opportunity to some sailing, and learned compass reading.
But what most of all always to out hearts had a good ring
Were those days of camping, far away by a cooling spring
It was like living and surviving, being one with nature
Then at nights will gather and tell stories by the campfire.
This also provided such an opportunity to be independent
On reflection it also went a long way into my development
That now I can see how it brought home that instant
Demonstrating that working as a team is very important.
We were always very busy in our town and neighborhood
Doing all types of jobs, held shows, and skits so we could
Raise funds so that we could continue our group's activity
We even made some visits and sat and talk to the elderly.
But now i see that scouting has been taken a new dimension
Most of them looked for some form of corporate donation
Some parents seems to be so protective, and have them so sheltered
Would find all sort of excuses not to get them too involved.
