It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up to its glowing,
That's how it is with Scouting,
Once you've experienced it;
You spread your joy to everyone,
You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding,
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with Scouting,
Once you've experienced it;
You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,
You want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found,
You can come join in, it matters not where you're bound,
I'll shout it from the mountain tops\
I want the world to know,
The joy of friends has come to me,
I want to pass it on.
