Here are the resources I shared at the October Northwest District Roundtable for use in the October Pack or Den meetings. The script is from Pack 634’s October 2015 Pack meeting, and is what I use to keep me (Cubmaster) on track as I run the meeting. The theme was Responsibility for the value and Fire Safety. We also had a Bobcat Badge ceremony, but I couldn’t find the script for that one. There are excellent ones online. The color sheet above as well as the song sheet and Cubmaster Script are available as downloads at the bottom.
Here are the songs:
The Smoke Alarm Went Off
Alice, Golden Empire Council
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)
The smoke alarm went off
The smoke alarm went off
It’s warning you though you can’t see
The smoke alarm went off
You’ll hear the loud beep — beeps
You’ll hear the loud beep — beeps
It smells the smoke, it’s not a joke
You’ll hear the loud beep — beeps
If you see smoke, get low
If you see smoke, get low
It’s cool and clear down near the floor,
If you see smoke get low
You need to go outside
You need to go outside
The meeting place will keep you safe
You need to go outside
Now don’t go back inside
Now don’t go back inside
Just stay and wait and you’ll be safe,
So don’t go back inside.

This song is often referred to as the “Cub Scout National
Anthem.’ But I would vote for “Duke of York.”

I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
That’s why they call me:
TARZAN OF THE APES!
Sing the song through three or four times:
The first time loudly;
The second time softer
(except for the “Tarzan” part – always YELL that)
The third time even softer
And finally whispering
Remember, always yell the “Tarzan” part; the last time, no
one makes a sound until all shout in unison, ‘TARZAN …
