Leaders Gave Me Patches And Pins By Donald Shellhouse Verse: Once upon a time long long ago, I was a little boy don't you know; I joined a club in a blue uniform, Now a member of a Pack, I was informed. Chorus: And Leaders gave me patches and pins for the tasks that I did, And they even praised me for the promise that I said; And they made me feel as though I really belonged; They are my Heroes. They guided me along. Verse: Time goes on and Ranks achieved, I'm now an older boy don't you see; I have worked real hard for where I am, And I am trying to be a good young man. Repeat Chorus Bridge: Well I've been growing in this here Troop, I can honestly say that it's been a good group; I want to be the next Eagle Scout, And when I get there I know, I will shout. Repeat Chorus Verse: And now I can soar to brand new heights, Just like the Sacred Eagle in flight; And now my life has really changed, By helping younger Scouts, get arranged.
