Scout To Kill a Mockingbird
Dresses, bows, make-up, this is who
I am not, don’t put me
In a dress
I’ll give you an insight of my life, I have a neighbor who
We call Boo
My brother Jem, who is older
Believes he is bolder
Atticus we call him, never dad
He never says we couldn’t, but...

Boy Scout Camp Fires
When I was a young lad
I was a boy scout
We went once a month
On a camping trip
With our father
Coming along.

Once we went 
On a camping trip
Along Stinson beach
In Marin County.

We had a campfire
On the beach
A real bonfire
Welcomed 
In the chilly night air

Fond memories
Of being a...

Scout Memories
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2016

I’ve marched behind the pipes and drums, when I was just a boy
down Hyde Road and Gorton Lane, filled with pride and joy
the bagpipes loudly playing, with a stirring marching sound
and the banners proudly streaming, as we marched around...

Premium Member Boy Scout
A tenderhearted lad from Schenectady
Gave his elbow to an elderly lady
Helping her across the street,
While never missing a beat
Leaves her happy in a better spot shady.

The Scout
The Scout

Perched upon the hill;
Alert in all his senses.
Awaiting for approach of dangers;
Protector of his peoples.
A warrior like none other;
One that knows pure self control.
Master of solitude;
Listener of all things.
Awake! Alive!;
This loyal one is.
Dedicated to his tribe;
Keeper of life.
Always ready to spring to action;
Always willing...

Boy Scout Camp
I remember waking up  
To the sudden sense of fear
My camping bag was packed
I could sense what was near
The 3 hour drive 
Was a bit of drag
Where I would spend 5 nights
Saluting the flag
I was nervous at first
Didn’t think it was fair
But then I...

Mysterious Boy Scout
It was a rainy thursday when we rode a jeepney
We saw a boy scout seating in front of me
He was very cute and chubby
Wearing his boy scout attire incompletely

He was a kid who looks innocently
His blue bag was on his back while he was seating...

Boy Scout
I cry at Chain Bridge
in my third year as a tenderfoot.
It's the same thing,
when father takes his time
showing up and the earth
gapes all the way to chaos.
It's when the money runs out
and the business fails.
The scouts all laugh
as they stand near their
neat packs with all...

Mermaid Scout
My mysterious life in these elusive underwater surroundings
Keeps my clan of beings alert and cautious of vigilant threats.
As I travel ahead of the others in search of sonar echo soundings
My large companions shelter me from danger and unforeseen duress.

Our ability to communicate is both charmed...

Scout It Out
Stuck in forest
Climb, feel breeze!

Scout where to go
If stuck may not know!

Sink into despair?
Connect with those who care!

Blaze the way
Peace someday!

Japanese Scout 1942
Oh yer poncing on Kokoda and you see a little Jap,
Like a Rabbit with the Myxo, he dunno where he's at,
So he plonks at you with bullets, per Arisaka gun,
5 shots an he's on empty, now will come the fun,
Bandy legs come staggering,...

There once was a girl scout named Daisy
She was just a little bit crazy
She ate magnets for lunch
They went down in a bunch
Luckily she was not at all lazy...

Premium Member Girl Scout Cookies
I love girl scout cookies!
Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest.
Personally I think that trefoils and tagalongs are the best

I love the taste of shortbread and that peanut butter crunch BUT
in a pinch I’ll eat a thin mint…or that one with coconut.

And even...
