yeah..I've found hundreds by snooping around in threads and clicking stuff. Mudcat is a pretty easy place to navigate--a treasure.

I would have thought camp songs started building steam in the early 20s? There's a pretty strong emphasis on singing while you Work, Hike or Wait in the earliest GS handbooks. I don't know much about other organizations, but I think the first official GS songbook was printed in 1928.
One of these days, I will probably open a thread to try getting a solid handful of songs to sing as part of a 1920s re-enactment GS troop, but for now, I'm content sitting around following existing threads and picking up information vicariously.
This place certainly attracts people who are generous with their knowledge!

Thanks,
