Teach Your Den a Song

The Maestro Webelos/AOL adventure has us teaching the words and melody of a song. Then you must perform the song as a den during a pack meeting.

To start, what is the melody of a song?

Melody in music is a group of notes of various pitches (high or low a note sounds) which are played on after another. Together they make a tune in the same what that a group of words make a sentence.

One song that you could sing for the closing of the pack meeting is Scout Vespers, Which is sung to the tune of “Oh Christmas Tree” or also known as “Oh Tannenbaum”.

The tune and melody for this song is very recognizable and simple to sing or play. Here are the lyrics for the Scout Vespers:

Softly falls the light of day,
While our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared?
