The Ballad of Many Point Scout Camp

[DriftlessPonyClub]

This was my first year there, I was in Ten Chiefs though

[jjbpapke]

Brings back so many great memories. Thanks to who ever putting it on here

[jjbpapke]

I still remember being there. Grearest Camp I have ever been to. In my 8 years of Scouting Many Point was always the highlight of the year. I never would have never made eagle if i hadn't gone to Many Point. I'm so sad i wont ever be there again

[bcbcp]

Heading back up in a few weeks for the 12th time, first as a scout and now as an adult. As usual, i can't wait.

[dirty8977]

Wow makes me nastalgic... went there every year since I was 12 til 19 and im 22 now i forget all the things I learned (good and bad) at Many Point. From cooking to flirting with the girl councilers, I wish I could just have 1 more year as a scout...

[MrPulledpork11]

i got back a week ago tryed to film this but my camera cut out after 3 min greatest sone ever

[344BLANK]

My scout troop always stays in ten cheifs but, thanks for putting this out here i always loved this song

[thewhorocks524]

man, this takes me back. 2006 was my first year at many point. this was filmed a week before my arrival actually

[barsch63]

I haven't heard this song in 30 years! It's nice to know that Many Point and it's traditions are still going. Our troup used to stay at Buckskin after Pioneer was closed down in the '70s.

[calvinman781]

troop 273 rules!!!

[snackwrap665]

TROOP 84 AL THE WAYYYY many point rocks

[samandzach]

58 second mark made me cry....

FROM LAUGHING!!!!!! XD

[Drbrans]

Anyone know who wrote the lyrics?

I was on staff at Many Point from 1961-

1964...and original song was written by

Shel Silverstein and covered by Judy Collins

as The Hills of Shiloh. It was very popular

as a campfire song those years, often performed

by Jerry Brown...a Flintlock Counselor in 1963 and a very talented musician. Judy Collins' Hills of Shiloh can be downloaded from iTunes.

The Many Point Lyrics certainly reignites some powerful, meaningful memories. David Bransford

[samandzach]

I really miss this song. My favorite part of camp. I went there all eight years of my scout career. It was a said day my last year. It was fun. Thanks for posting this it means a lot.

Jacob Odden (SPL, Junior Assistant Scoutmaster)

Troop 11

[generalsoilder]

I was there that year, My Troop (615) is from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We went up two years before that and we were visited by some Norwegian Explorers. For 2006 we were there the last week of June, i think they played this song then too.

[kyledudev13]

those were the good times

[sickkid98987]

[Drumnut42]

this is an amazing song...one of my favorites parts of going to many point. i was at voyageur camp this past week.....im from troop 273! yay. does anyone know the chords to this song? i'd like to learn it...

[generalsoilder]

I am working on figuring out the Tablature for Guitar, Ill let you know when its done

[shawng83]

My troop stays in Fon Du Lac every year. I love Voyager!

The lyrics of the song are in the Many Point Packet, I don't know about the chords, you would probably have to get those from a MP staff member

[calvinman781]

same here we just got back yesterday no joke

[crazyguitarplayer23]

[hockeyb213]

I was at buckskin during the last or closing week in august last year going back this year I am in wilderness where were u guys at???

[mtbadamdude]

I don't see the point in singing songs like this, it just gets everyone depressed, that's why whenever i run a campfire i NEVER end with kum-by-ah i always end with a happy merry song =]

[mustangac2003]

I too am in the video. I am playing the guitar.

[MIKEDABUC]
