Scout Vespers & Taps

Scout Vespers (to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree)

Closing song (campfire, meeting, court of honor, etc.)

Hold hands, arms crossed (right over left)

Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away.
Silently each Scout should ask,
“Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honor bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared,
Everything to Be Prepared?”

Scout Taps

Song as the close of the day

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lake, from the hills,

From the sky;

All is well, safely rest,

God is nigh.

May the great scoutmaster of all good scouts watch over us until we meet again.
