We thank you all our leaders,
But we know we bring you joy,
For each and every week we send
To you our quiet boys;
Alone they're very silent
But together quite a noise,
And the troops go marching on.
Chorus:
Thank you all for being leaders,
Thank you all for being leaders,
Thank you all for being leaders,
Of our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts!
The boys arrive here right on time,
In proper uniform;
Their hair is always combed real fine,
Like when they just left home;
They all sit down and quietly wait,
Until the fall-in call,
And the troops go marching on!
