Scout Mauricio took on the task of assembling the Cat Scouts Songbook, compiled from all the songs submitted recently for the Sing a Song merit badge. So, when you go to the campfire, don’t forget the songs!
CAT SCOUTS SONGBOOK
WORLDWIDE WILDCATS ANTHEM
SONG BY BOBCAT MAURICIO
Troop: WORLDWIDE WILDCATS
Copyright: November 2013
I like to go camping
Winter, spring, summer and fall.
I gather all my Cat Scout buddies,
And we have ourselves a ball.
We go hiking and fishing and swimming
And are always careful that no one goes missing.
We cook s’mores and tell ghost stories
Or share in our friends’ merit badge glories.
Refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.
Cat Scouts is the happening place to be.
Cat Scouts is fun for Sammy, Raz, Sushi and Allie.
And troop Worldwide Wildcats is just the best.
We love putting our skills and talents to the test.
We’ve earned badges in mammal study, basketry and art
And celebrated our accomplishments together or apart.
It is one for all and all for one
In a troop where we know the fun has just begun.
Refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.
Many of us have the Bobcat patch on our chest
And are working hard to make our troop the best.
We are proud to be members of the Cat Scout organization
And look forward to continuing our scouting education.
So please come join us everyone.
We know that you’ll have oodles of fun
While learning the ancient and honored Cat Scout way
And having loads of fun each and every day.
Refrain
Cat Scouts is the only life, the only life for me
So please join me at Campfire for a cup of nip tea
Where we are comrades, buddies, friends and pals
Whether we are Cat Scout guys or gals.

SO GLAD TO BE A CAT SCOUT
SONG BY BOBCAT SUSHI
Troop: WORLDWIDE WILDCATS
(Sung to the tune of “Angel on My Shoulder”)
I’m so glad to be a Cat Scout
I’m so happy to be free
There are noms and story telling
There’s no other place to be
I have such amazing furriends
At the campfire we all gather
We learn a lot from being a Cat Scout
That we’ll treasure til the end.
(*)
While we brought a lot of treats at the campfire site
We’ll come up with great stories that would scare us much
We’ll hide under the blankies coz we’re scaredy cats
We’ll share a lot of fearful experiences.
(**)
I’m so glad to be a Cat Scout
I’m so proud to be a Bobcat (or Tenderpaw)
I’m here to help my fellow Cat Scouts
To be the best that they could be now and
The best they could be til the end.
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
The best they could be til the end… (4x)

SONG BY BOBCAT WALLY
Troop: WORLDWIDE WILDCATS
(Sung to the tune of “I’ve Been Working on the Railrod”)
We love being Cat Scouts
All the livelong day
We love being Cat Scouts
What more can we say?
Making furiends and earning badges
Just some of the fun things we do
We love being Cat Scouts
Join us, please, won’t you?
We’ve been working on merit badges
All the livelong day
We’ve been working on merit badges
Though working seems like play
Hiking, nomming and gardening,
Climbing and driving in cars
We’ve been working on merit badges
And we all will be stars!
We’ve been sitting ‘round the campfire
All the livelong day
We’ve been sitting ‘round the campfire
Be Purrpared is the Cat Scout Way
Practicing our paw clasp
And telling stories that scare
We’ve been sitting ‘round the campfire
Join us if you dare!

CATNIP DEW
SONG BY BOBCAT FLEETWOOD CAT
Troop: Whisker Warriors & Steel City Scaredy Cats
(Sung in a Johnny Cash Voice)
There’s a big cat tree down the hall here from me
Where you lay down a crunchie treat or two
Well you go round the bend and when you come back again
There’s a jug full of good ole catnip dew
Chorus
They call it that old catnip dew,
And them that refuse it are few.
I’ll hush my pie hole if you’ll fill up my bowl
With that good old catnip dew.
The old meezer Bill runs a still on the hill
Where he turns out a gallon or two
And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can’t fly
From sniffing that good old catnip dew.
Repeat Chorus
My cousin the tortie is a sawed off shortie,
She measures ’bout one foot two,
But she thinks she’s a giant when you give her a pint
Of that good old catnip dew.
Repeat Chorus
My uncle Klaus caught a real mean old mouse
It had beat up a dog or two. When they asked how it happened,
He said it was a lappin’
That good old mountain dew
Repeat Chorus

Troop: Phanny’s Feline Fraternity
(Sung to the tune of “Get Your Motor Running”)
Get your motor purrin
Head out to the campfire
Looking for adventure
And lots of fun to transpire
Yeah, scouts’
Gonna make it happen
Across the world in a derby race
Salute all of your friends at once
With a big smile on your face!
I like art and campin’
Strolling, nomming, hiking
Singing at the campfire,
And all the friends that I’ve found here.
Yeah, scouts’
Gonna make it happen

With some nip treats on your plates
Like true kitteh cats,

Only paw clasps and achievments!

Gonna make it happen
Across the world in a derby race
Salute all of your friends at once
With a big smile on your face!
