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!
