Scouting is full of songs and chants. Little niblets which brighten your day and make a regular old bus journey into a Scouting Bus Journey!
Some songs and chants are very wide spread and variations are frequent. Local versions and inside jokes abound and help them tug your heartstrings all the more!
Below is a list of songs and chants popular within 2nd Edgware, these are the versions we sing. Often themselves an amalgamation of versions from different backgrounds of our Scouts and leaders. Some tough compromises have been made in accepting one tune over another – but for the sake of troop identity everyone has agreed to sing from the same song sheet!
