PATRIOTIC SONGS
The Star Bangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! God Bless America God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
My Country tis of Thee
My country, tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing.
Land where my father’s died
Land of the pilgrims pride
From ev’ry mountain side,
Let freedom ring.
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! - Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! - Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
HYMNS
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow; The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we'd first begun.
How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed,
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Ill Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is
o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have
gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has
flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Just a few more weary days and
then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

SKITS
The Airplane
Seven boys act as the pilot, co-pilot and radioman on an airliner. Four other boys
are on the wings as the
Engines of the plane.
The pilot announces to co-pilot that engine one has failed. Engine one (ham this
up) sputters, makes noise and dies. Co-pilot instructs radioman to inform tower
and tell them they will be arriving 15 minutes late (radioman radios tower and
repeats message).
Soon after engine two fails, repeat the process again but this time tell the tower
they will be 30 minutes late.
Then engine three fails, repeat the process but with more panic tell the tower we
will be 1 hour late. Finally the pilot announces the fourth and final engine has
failed. The radioman then says: "Boys I'd better radio the tower, we may be up
here all day!"
(Adult Leader Skit)
Chewing Gum
You will need: 4 leaders, props should include a camp chair.
Scene: camp area, Leader walks on one at a time. This is a pantomime skit.
One leader walks on stage and sits in a camp chair. After a few seconds he acts
like he remembers some gum in his pocket. He pulls out the piece and begins
chewing imaginary gum (use exaggerated motions- chewing, blowing bubbles,
pulling gum out of mouth, putting it back in), He then acts like he needs to use
the restroom and sticks the gum on the underside of the chair. He then walks off
stage.
Second leader comes on stage, sits down and feels the gum on his hand under
the chair. After pulling it from his fingers he rolls it into a ball and chews it. When
done he sticks it to the arm of the chair and leaves the scene.
The third leader sits and finds the gum stuck to his arm. After removing it he
sniffs it and begins chewing. When done he takes it out of his mouth and
accidentally drops it on the floor.
The fourth leader comes over and steps on it. He takes off his shoe, sniffs the
gum and licks it off his shoe. After chewing he then puts it back in its original
spot and leaves.
The first leader enters again. He sits there bored for a time and then excitedly
remembers the gum under the chair. He retrieves it and walks off stage chewing
gum.

Starry Skies
The Trailmaster and his Navigator son went on a camping trip. As they lay down
for the night,
Navigator son: "Dad, look up into the sky and tell me what you see".
Trailmaster Dad: "I see millions and millions of stars".
Navigator Son: "And what does that tell you?"
Trailmaster Dad: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies
and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and
that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have
a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, son?"
Navigator Son: "Well, It tells me you forgot to pack the tent again" JOKES
