Camp Barton Song

Oh there's a Boy Scout camp at Frontenac,

A camp that's really worth your while.

I've seen a dozen other Scouting camps,

But Barton's got them beat a mile or two or three!

 

You'd better come to Frontenac today,

Put on your shorts and come prepared to stay.

When camping times come `round

Again you'll say, again you'll say

Camp Barton is the place for me!

 
8:50 closing- Scoutmaster Moment – youth protection reflection (new book)
