"The Scoutmaster" © 2005
(from one Eagle Scout to his Scoutmaster)
Scouting was the perfect place to grow from boy to man,
Stop asking so much from adults, start doing all I can.
I found that leadership and planning aren't as easy as they seem,
Sometimes I thought that I'd just quit, and give up on my dream.
But somehow you were always there, to counsel and advise--
When one of my decisions was anything but wise.
Now here I stand before you, a full-fledged Eagle Scout.
If not for you, I wouldn't be . . .Of that there is no doubt.
How many times I've come to you, to aid with some disaster,
Thank you does not say enough, so--
"I salute you, my Scoutmaster".

"The Scoutmaster II" © 2006
(from multiple Eagle Scouts to their Scoutmaster)
Scouting was the perfect place to grow from boy to man,
Stop asking so much from adults, start doing all we can.
We found that leadership and planning aren't as easy as they seem,
Sometimes we thought that we'd just quit, and give up on our dream.
But somehow you were always there, to counsel and advise--
When one of our decisions was anything but wise.
Now here we stand before you, all full-fledged Eagle Scouts.
If not for you, we wouldn't be . . .Of that we have no doubts.
How many times we've come to you, to aid with some disaster,
Thank you does not say enough, so--
"We salute you, our Scoutmaster".
