A Little Love Commitment Song

A little love that slowly grows and grows, I’ll give my hand
Not one that comes and goes, To those who cannot see
That’s all I ask of you. The sunlight or the falling rain

A sunny day to look up to the sky, I’ll sing my song

A hand to help me by, To cheer the weary along
That’s all I ask of you. For I may never pass this way again.

Don’t let me down, I’ll share my faith

Oh, show me that you care, With every troubled heart
Remember when you give, So I shall not have live in vain
You also get a share.
I’ll give my hand, I’ll sing my song
Don’t let me down, I’ll share my faith, Because I know
I have no time to wait, That the time has come
Tomorrow my not come, To fulfill each vow
By then will be too late. For I may never pass this way again.

Ang Tenga Everything Together

Kung ang tenga mo’y lay lay We can do everything together
At kakampay-kampay Everything together for the boy
Itali mo ng sinulid There’s nothing we can never do
Sa dulo ng palaso Never can do anything at all
Isampay sa balikat We can solve many different problems
Tulad ng isang Iskaut If we work together for the boy.
Kung ang tenga mo’y lay lay.
All our troubles will vanish away
And we’ll have a brand new day.

All our troubles will vanish away

And we’ll have a brand new day.

Follow Me Boys Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Here

There’s a job to do, there’s a fight to win
Follow me boys, follow me
And it won’t be done till we all pitch in
Lift your chin with a grin and follow me.
Chorus
Follow me boys, follow me
When you think you’re really beat
That’s the time to lift your feet
And follow me, boys, follow me
Pick them up, put them down and follow me
It’s a long long climb but we’ve got the will
Follow me boys, follow me
When we reach the top and its all down hill
Till you dropped don’t stop and follow me
There the journey’s end is beyond our sight
Follow me boys, follow me
If we do our best, then we’ve all done right
Pack your load, beat the road and follow me.
Guide a Boy
Never walk through the world all alone,
Never leave all the paths you have trodden.
Every day is a bright new tomorrow,
Yesterday must not be all forgotten.
Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here
Never mind the weather
Here we are together
Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here
So let the fun begin right now
Repeat
Smile, smile spread that smile
Never mind your temper
Here we are together
Smile, smile spread that smile
Spread that smile together now
Happy All the Time
I’m inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time
I’m inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time.
Since Scouting came to me
And show me all these skills
I’m inward, outward, upward, downward
Happy all the time.
(leftward, rightward, backward, forward)

Everything will look bright if you smile,

Never frown at mistakes of others.
Make them feel everything will be worthwhile,
If you live in this world like a Scouter.

The boys are all hoping and wishing that you

Will guide them on their way.
So give all you’ve got, never leave anything,
True love is found in Scouting.

So walk with the boy in your hand,

Guiding him through the path full of sunshine
Never leave any path still untrodden,
Never leave any stone still unturned.

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, Hey!

We pitch our tent
And cook our chow
The Boy Scouts are on their way.

The Boy Scouts are on their way.
I Used to be a CooKoo
I used to be cookoo
A good ‘ol cookoo too
But now I’ve finished cookooing
I don’t know what to do
I’m growing old and feeble
And I can’t coo no more
So, I’m going to work my ticket if I can
Back to Gilwell happy land
I’m going to work my ticket if I can
Back to Gilwell happy land
I’m going to work my ticket if I can
Replace CooKoo with your Wood Badge Animal
Replace Gilwell with Makiling

I Want to Know
I want to know you more, A little bit more
I want to know you more, A little bit more
I want to know you more, A little bit more
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit more
Everybody dance
Everybody clap
I’m Going Back Home
I’m going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
I’m going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
I miss the sunshine, I miss the rain,
I miss the moonlight on Scouter’s lane.
I’m going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
Hail, hail to you! (Hail to you!)
Hail, hail to you! (Hail to you!)
When I look at, look at you
When you look at, look at me
Keep your smile and hail to you.
I’m going back home, to Mt. Makiling
Where the sunshine never fades.
I’m Happy When I’m Hiking
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
I’m happy when I’m hiking,
Pack upon my back
I’m happy when I’m hiking,
Off the beaten track
Out in the open country,
That’s the place for me
With a good Scout friend,
To the journey’s end
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty miles away
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp

In My Dreams
When in the glow of a fire burning low
There are moments I recall
Back to my mind come the days far behind
And the time that hold me over all
Then the years fade away and again I stray
To paths of a brighter hue
Where boy’s voice ring, where Youth is King
And the skies again are blue.
In my dreams
I’m going back to Gilwell
To the joys and happiness I’ve found
On those grand weekends
With my dear old friends
To see the training ground.
Oh the grass is greener back in Gilwell
And to breathe again that Scouting air
And in memories, I see B.P.
Who never will be far from there.
Iskauting ang Sandigan
Iskauting ang sandigan di magigiba
Iskauting ang sandigan di magigiba
Kasing tatag ng kabundukan di magigiba
I’ve Got that Scouting Spirit
I’ve got that Scouting Spirit
Up in my head, up in my head, up in my head
I’ve got the Scouting Spirit
Up in my head, up in my head to stay.
B.P. Spirit
Deep in my Heart – Down on my Knee – Down on my Toe –
All Over Me

Kung ang Ulan
Kung ang ulan ay malapot na sorbetes
O kay sarap ng ulan
Kung ang ulan ay malapot ng sorbetes
O kay sarap ng ulan
Ako’y lalabas at ako’y nganganga
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
O kay sarap ng ulan
Makiling, You’re for Me
Makiling, you’re for me
Makiling, you’re for me
I know a place where every Scouter’s go
Where there is fun and hearts are all aglow
It overlooks the bay as it rises to the sky
Where moon beams flirt with dew drops
As the breezes sigh
God feeds the soul, the body, and the mind
Scouting Ideals are never hard to find
Now I know, Makiling is the place for me
Makiling, you’re for me
Makiling, you’re for me
I can’t imagine, myself as in a dream
Climbing the mountains and down the small ravine
The magic of its peace and quiet always shall stay
To make this place a heaven, each and everyday
Oh, how I wish I never have to leave
All of my life such beauty to receive
Now I know, Makiling is the place for me
Makiling, you’re for me
Makiling, you’re for me

O Pag-Ibig
O pag-ibig at pagsintang tunay
Na tangi kong taglay
Sa iyo’y iaalay.
Lingapin mo
At pag-asa’y bigyan
Ang abang puso ko
Sa iyo’y nagmamahal.
Huwag mo sanang
Hayaang magdusa
Pag-ibig sa akin iyong ipadama
Tandaan mo ang pag-ibig ko
Tanging iaalay
Sa iyo aking mahal.
On My Honor
On my honor, I’ll do my best,
To do my duty to God,
On my honor, I’ll do my best,
To serve my country as I may.
On my honor, I’ll do my best,
To do a good turn each day.
To keep my body strengthened,
And keep my mind awakened,
To follow paths of righteousness,
On my honor, I’ll do my best.
One Little Candle
It is better to light
Just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far than to light
Just one little candle
All you need is a tiny spark
If we’ll all say a prayer
That the world would be free
The wonderful day
Of a new dawn we’ll see
And if everyone light
Just one little candle
What a bright world this would be.
Scout Songs
Red River Valley
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our paths once a while.
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the brother that loved you so true.
Si Lola
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan
May dalang paypay galing China
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan
May dalang paypay
May dalang paypay
Si lola ay nagbalikbayan

Sing Your Way Home
Sing your way home
At the close of the day
Sing your way home
Drive the shadows away
Smile every mile
For wherever you go
It will brighten your road
It will lighten your load
If you sing your way home
