The Cub Who Never Returned
Tune: Clementine

Let me tell you, of a story
Of a Cub named “Charlie”
On that tragic and fateful day,
Put his scout knife in his pocket.

Kissed his dog and his family
Went to hike in the woods far away
Well did he ever return?
No he never returned.

And his fate is still unlearned.
He may roam forever
Through the deep dark forest.
He’s the Cub who never returned.

Now you citizens
Of scouting, don’t you think it’s a scandal
How ol’ Charlie got lost that day in the woods.
So far away.

Take the right equipment,
(shout) TAKE ALONG A BUDDY!
When you hike in the woods that way
Or else you’ll never return, no you’ll never return.

And your fate will be unlearned,
You may roam forever
In the hills and the forests
Just like Charlie, the Cub who never returned.
