Dining Hall Happenings
There is rarely a dull moment in the
Allen Memorial Dining Hall. At
breakfast, wake up to the “Big Idea,”
which is presented each morning by
a scoutmaster. Then, be ready to
MAKE SOME NOISE at lunch and
dinner. Inter-troop cheers are
encouraged, as are those directed at
Head Table…if you dare to take the
challenge! One of our vocally gifted
staff members will lead the dining
hall in song.
Here are some examples of cheers
you can use. Cheer LOUDLY!
We Sold our Horse
We sold our horse, we sold our horse;
And what is left
Is yours, of course.
We Sold our Cow
We sold our cow, we sold our cow;
We have no need
For your (point) bull now.
Ever wonder what that song is that the
Camp Staff always sings at the end of
our campfires? Here it is…
The Camp Song
It all began with the dreams of old,
The Indian brave and the Pioneer
bold,
By campfire's light old tales retold,
In the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.
Those early scouts with their
campaign hats,
Their pressed wool shirts, their boots
and spats,
Rekindled the dreams that had gone
before,
In the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.
Chorus:
They built a camp upon the
Mason-Dixon Line,
Historic land where values
shine,
Ol' Horseshoe your memories
will e'er be mine,
In the Loop of the Octoraro
Bend.
The sun comes up over flagpole hill,
Where Old Glory flew and is flying
proudly still,
And we'll march to the call at the end
of the day,
In the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.
So let's hoist our packs once again
my friend,
Where the waters flow 'round the
tranquil Horseshoe Bend,
And we'll hike and camp in the old
scout way
In the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.
Chorus:
They built a camp upon the
Mason-Dixon Line,
Historic land where values
shine,
Ol' Horseshoe your memories
will e'er be mine,
In the Loop of the Octoraro
Bend.
He served the camp upon the Mason-
Dixon Line,
His years as chief numbered twentynine,
Achgeketum your lessons will e'er be
mine,
In the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.
More songs and cheers can be
obtained at Headquarters.
