encsteph Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hello All, I have the words to a song I want to sing at our Scout's Own Service during our upcoming camping trip. Challenge is I have no idea what the tune is. The song is basically the cub scout promise, here are the words: 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 my good turn each day To keep my body strengthened To keep my mind awakened To follow paths of righteousness On my honor I'll do my best Does anybody know what tune to sing this to? Thanks in advance. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNerd Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I LOVE that song, trouble is, it's tune is not a usual one. It's in the boy scout song book (red one) or if you'd like I can email you a scanned version (theoretically at least, I can try). And thanks by the way(*joking sarcasm), now I'm gonna have it stuck in my head all day!! :-P :-D well I guess there are are worse (worser? less nice? I was never very good at grammar) fates :-D -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperParatus Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 When I try to sing this, it comes out like a modified, 'My Darling Clementine'. Then again, I'm not much of a singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encsteph Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 ScoutNerd, A scanned version would be great. I really want to sing this song so any help at all would be very useful. You can send it directly to ericX@XsamuelandnoahX.Xcom Just remove X's. Thanks. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutNerd Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hi Eric, I'll work on getting that to you, but it may or may not need to wait till I can go home this weekend. The link is good, though :-D -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
