Thread Name: Songs for Scouts
Subject: RE: Songs for Scouts
Well, I'll tell ya, the longest song I ever sang was "The Ants Go Marching." Somebody asked me to lead 1500 Scouts in that song, but some sort of distraction came up just as I was starting the song. Nobody sang along, but there was no gracious way for me to stop singing. So, I sang all the way up to ten. I had sung that song with Scouts many times before and since without any problem; but that one time, the song seemed to last forever.
I do think the song is now a little too "young" for kids over 12 or so.
