The jamboree song







March, march, march on the road with me

To the Boy Scout Jamboree

Join the throng & swing along

As we sing our song



CHORUS



Jamboree, jamboree

Come give three hearty cheers

And we'll go marching on together

Another 50 years



Every hour let the valleys ring

With the scouty songs we sing

Underneath the stars at night

In the camp fire's light



CHORUS



We're the boys of the left hand shake

Boy Scouts all & wide awake

Hiking over hill & dale

Singing on the trail



CHORUS



Marching on with the BP lead

Ev'ry colour, ev'ry creed

All for one & life is good

In our brotherhood



CHORUS



Years from now down a mem'ry lane

We shall work & live again

Their guest days with you & me

At the Jamboree



CHORUS

We sang this song at the Jamboree in Cork in 1956. I was eight then and have always remembered the words!

My sister and I sang this song at our weekly girl guide meetings in Birmingham around the time of the 1956 jamboree in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield Warwickshire. Scouts and Guides of many nations were there. We bravely walked across a rope bridge between 2 wooden tripods built by some French scouts. Lesley and Viv, aged 12 and 13 then.
