If I Were Not A Boy Scout
| Tune: | This is the Music Concert |

| Category: | Scout |
| Link: | Performance Example |
| Notes: | This is a cumulative, call-and-response performance piece often done with over-the-top motions and multiple performers. Each "job" adds a verse with a repeated sound or phrase. Works best when each Scout acts out their line. Ideal for campfires and jamborees. Scout groups sometimes localize or update the professions for extra fun. |
