A Song I wrote for the BSA. An Exposition on the Scout Law.
acoustic music christian bsa scouting boyscouts values
Hey, this is Mister Chris, I'm the Advancement Chairman for a Scout Troop in the Memphis Area, Troop Ole97. This band has formed to create an album to sell to our Alumni from this 65-year-old troop to support the work of the troop. Those songs that are original works by me I am pumping up here onto SoundClick so that you can listen to them. All other members of the band are Scout Leaders or Eagle Scouts themselves.

Story behind the song
I'm placing this song up here with permission from the Boy Scouts of America. It is a song written to motivate Scouts and Scouters to be true to the ideals of Scouting. Hopefully you will find this song to be useful in your troop in helping the boys to understand the 12 points of the Scout Law, and in becoming better Scouts and citizens in general.
