Scout Yells
|
|
There are few things which, like good and well rendered Yells, are able to create cohesion and enthusiasm. Boys like to yell and to cheer, they like to let off steam one way or another. Every Troop ought to have its own private yell, the boys ought to be encouraged to try developing new cheers, and plenty of practice should be given to this subject in order that the Troop may always be able to show its enthusiasm at meetings, rallies and, in fact, at all large get-togethers. The following list of yells from several countries will probably help other Scoutmasters to create interest for this special phase of Scouting.

Patrol YellsUsing the Patrol YellBefore you decide on your Patrol yell, go through the sample yells below. When your Patrol has made up or has picked the yells the fellows like, practice them until you can deliver them with real pep and enthusiasm. Then, if you want to honor a person or a place with a yell, you can fit your favorite yell for the occasion, by simply adding name of person or place to the yell--once or three times to suit the rhythm. But remember that a yell that's only a yell is not a yell at all! It isn't the noise that counts. It is the spirit and the meaning behind it that make the yell of value in your Patrol's life.
