WOOD BADGE SONG

Back to Gilwell

I used to be a Beaver,

And a good ol’ Beaver too,

But now I’ve finished Beavering,

I don’t know what to do,

I’m growing old and feeble,

And I can Beaver no more,

So I’m going to work my ticket if I can.

CHORUS:

Back to Gilwell, happy land,

I’m going to work my ticket if I can.
