Inspire the Desire (WM-10-98)


  You know a scout is like a river, 
  Ever changing as he grows,
  From Tenderfoot to Eagle, 
  The pathway we will show,
  Teach them to learn from what's behind them 
  While never knowing what's in store.
  They're preparing for life's battle; 
  They'll need direction to the shore.
  
Chorus:
  So we'll inspire the desire, 
  To help a boy become a man.
  To deliver the promise, 
  The Scout Law is the plan.
  And we will teach them by example 
  To do the best they can.
  Yes, we'll inspire the desire, 
  So they can take a valiant stand.
  
  As we accept this mighty challenge 
  We can't let chances slip away.
  And we won't wait til tomorrow 
  To teach the skills they need today.
  We won't just beckon from the sidelines 
  And say we're satisfied.
  Through dedication and commitment, 
  We're lenghtening our stride.
  
Chorus:  
  There's bound to be rough water,
  And we know we'll take some falls.
  But with the good Lord as our Captain
  We can make it through them all.
  
Chorus:  
  So we'll inspire the desire, 
  And watch a boy become a man.
