I learned the song when on camp staff many many years ago, and I think that's how it makes it way into the units. My boy's don't know the song well enough to use it in pack meetings, but I'm always careful to use other words, just to be safe: "Here's some things to know..." "Important Information..." etc. I think the song, when sung in fun, is okay and not discourteous but it can get out of control. We staff members probably added 10 verses to the original song, and it could really drag out. The Program Director was very good at not saying the dreaded A word. The archery directory was an expert of tricking the PD into saying it. My favorite was when the Archery Directory asked the PD to remind everyone to bring "an ounce of mint" to the range to use to flavor his tea...
