Foreword Songs play an important part in Scouting. Through songs, the leader can set the mood and the emotional tone for any gathering, be it for solemn or joyous occasions or any other atmosphere in between. As a medium for emotional expression, the leader can use songs to fit the mood of a group or the other way around – influence the mood of a group through an appropriate song. Both, probably are true. And singing should be recognized by leaders as a force that can be used in the field of character-influencing, especially among Scouts. Scouts sing not only songs for fun, for there are many fun songs to sing songs in Scouting, but songs that fit and are appropriate for other Scouting occasions. We sing songs of fellowship because we enjoy each other’s company and friendship; we sing songs to commemorate events or express religious and patriotic fervor; we sing songs for greetings, farewell and inspiration, and through the singing, the wise leader can help his Scouts find a world of beauty and inspiration. How To Lead A Song 1. Smile at your group. Relax. Radiate a little confidence and enthusiasm, even if you don't feel particularly confident or enthusiastic. Morale is catching. 2. Tell them the name of the song they're going to sing. Always start with a rousing, well-known “warm-up” number, so everybody, including you, can sing out with confidence. 3. Be sure to give the pitch. Sing a few bars yourself, or have a couple of bars played if an instrument is available. 4. Start the singing with slight upward arm motion, then a decisive downward motion (a “downbeat”), and begin singing yourself. Don't worry if some don't start with the first note - they'll join in quickly. 5. Beat time with a simple up and down motion of the arm - but make it definite, brisk, and in command. In songs whose time is 2/4, 3/4 and 6/8, make the downbeat on the first beat of each measure. In songs with 4/4 time, make downbeats on the first and third beats. 6. Control volume by raising your hands for louder, lowering them for softer. 7. Move around a little. Inject a little pep and personality. 8. Spark enthusiasm by dividing the crowd for a song or two. Groups sing on your signal. Patriotic Songs Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas (The Philippine National Anthem) Bayang magiliw Perlas ng silanganan Alab ng puso Sa dibdib mo’y buhay Lupang hinirang Duyan ka ng magiting Sa manlulupig Di ka pasisiil Sa dagat at bundok Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw May dilag ang tula at awit Sa paglayang minamahal Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y Tagumpay na nagniningning Ang bituin at araw niya Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati’t pagsinta Buhay ay langit sa piling mo Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo. Pilipinas Kong Mahal (My Beloved Philippines) Ang bayan ko’y tanging ikaw Pilipinas kong mahal Ang puso ko at buhay man Sa iyo’y ibibigay Tungkulin kong gagampanan Na lagi kang paglingkuran Ang laya mo’y babantayan Pilipinas kong hirang Bayan Ko Ang bayan kong Pilipinas Lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad Nag-alay ng ganda’t dilag At sa kanyang yumi at ganda Dayuhan ay nahalina Bayan ko, binihag ka Nasadlak sa dusa. Ibon mang may laying lumipad Kulungin mo at umiiyak Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag Ang di magnasang makaalpas Pilipinas kong minumutya Pugad ng luha ko’t dalita Aking adhika Makita kang sakdal laya Ako ay Pilipino (I Am A Filipino) Ako ay Pilipino, ang dugo’y maharlika Likas sa aking puso, adhikaing kayganda Sa Pilipinas na aking bayan Lantay ng Perlas ng Silanganan Wari’y natipon ng kayamanan ng Maykapal Bigay sa ‘king talino, sa mabuti lang laan Sa aki'y katutubo ang maging mapagmahal. Chorus: Ako ay Pilipino, Ako ay Pilipino Isang bansa isang diwa Ang minimithi ko Sa bayan ko’t bandila, laan buhay ko’t diwa Ako ay Pilipino, Pilipinong totoo Ako ay Pilipino, Ako ay Pilipino Taas noo kahit kanino Ang Pilipino ay Ako! Halina Halina sa aming bayan, Pilipinas ng Silangan. Lupang kasuyo ng araw, Ang lahat ay kaibigan. Dumalaw kayo sa amin At bukas ang tahanan namin. Bawa’t aming panauhin Ay kapatid kung ituring. Bayan namin ay payapa, Lahi namin ay dakila, Halina sa aming bansa Ng pag-ibig at paglaya! Sampaguita Sampaguita ng aming lipi, Bulaklak sa sakdal ng yumi. Ikaw ang mutya kong pinili Na sagisag ng ating lahi. Ang kulay mong binusilak Ay diwa ng aming pangarap, Ang iyong bango't halimuyak Sa tuwina’y aming nilalanghap. O bulaklak, na nagbibigay ligaya O paralumang mutyang Sampaguita Larawang mistula ng mga dalaga Ikaw ang tanging butuing hiraman ng kanilang ganda. Ang iyong talulot Ang siyang tunay na sagisag, Ng sa dalagang pusong wagas, Kayumian at pagkamatapat. Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the Philippines And to the Republic For which it stands. One nation under God Indivisible, with liberty And justice for all, And justice for all. Awit ni Maria Clara (Song of Maria Clara) Buhay ay kay-tamis sa sariling bayan, Magiliw ang lahat ng araw. Ang hangi’y may samyong Nagbibigay-buhay, Kamataya’y langit, pag-ibig ay banal. Magiliw na halik, sa tuwing umaga, Sa bunso’y pamupog ng irog na ina. Ang bisig ng bunsong may ngiti sa mata Sa liig ng hirang ay ikakawit na. Tamis ng mamatay ng dahil sa bayan, Magiliw ang lahat ng araw. Ang hangi’y may samyo ng kamatayan Sa walang bayan, ina’t kasintahan. Philippines, The Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountains majesties Above the fruited plain. My Philippines, my Philippines, God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for toiler’s hands, Whose labor Thou dost bless Creating fields and fruitlands From barren wilderness. My Philippines, dear Philippines, God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law. O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! My Philippines, loved Philippines, My God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! Scouting Spirit Hail, Hail Scouting Spirit Hail! hail!

Makiling, You’re For Me (Tune: A Place) I know a place Where Scouters always go Where there is fun And hearts are all aglow It overlooks the bay as it rises to the sky Where the moonbeams flirt with dewdrops As the breezes sigh God fills the soul, the body and the mind Scouting ideals are never hard to find Now I know, Makiling is the place for me Makiling, you’re for me! Makiling, you’re for me! Makiling, you’re for me! Scouting Spirit I don't care if it rains or freezes As long as I have the Scouting spirit Right here deep in my heart Thru all kinds of stormy weather Me and my BP will stick together Right here deep in my heart Scouting spirit (2x) Right here deep in my heart O my Lord full of grace Help me find a peaceful place Right here deep in my heart. I’ve Got A Home In Makiling I’ve got a home in Makiling the outshines the sun I’ve got a home in Makiling the outshines the sun I’ve got a home in Makiling the outshines the sun Way beyond the blue.
