Back to Gilwell

Gilwell campsite outside London is in some senses the home of Scouting. You can also change the song to use the name of your own Troop's favourite campsite if you like. Add verses for each Patrol, or each role, e.g. "I used to be a Cub/cook/camp doctor, etc"

I used to be an Eagle and a good old Eagle too

But now I've finished Eagling

I don't know what to do

I'm growing old and feeble, I can Eagle no more

So I'm going to work my ticket if I can

Back to Gilwell, happy land, happy land,

I'm going to work my ticket if I can, if I can

Back to Gilwell, happy land, happy land,

I'm going to work my ticket if I can!
