Softly falls the light of day
As our camp fire fades away
Silently each Guide should ask
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honour bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to Be Prepared?
and a more tongue-in-cheek version:
Softly falls the rain today
As our campsite floats away,
Silently each Guide should ask,
Have I brought my scuba mask?
Have I tied my tent flaps down,
Learnt to swim so I don't drown,
Have I done and will I try,
Everything to keep me dry?
