“Here’s to all the happy hours, cheer for the HK Scouting

Here’s to all the comrades of ours, gathered here besides the sea….”

This was the first scout song I learned, and I sang it from tenderfoot to ASM, during a hundred campfires and hikes.

In the stillness of the night, with only the campfire crackling, boys sang…out of tune, out of key, out of tempo…but nonetheless belted out, with joyous abundance, this song and others. There was nothing quite like it …ever !

Moments of simple joy, seared into memories of a distant past, never to be forgotten……
