"I am a Boy Scout"!
I always scream and shout,
When I help the elderly cross the street
Or when strangers I do meet.
I reverently obey the Boy Scout's law
But, not to one person, but for them all,
I am trustworthy, loyal, courteous and kind
And I always keep a cheerful and a clean mind.
I am helpful and obedient and thrifty and brave
I am also friendly and proud, as I give a Scout's wave,
Daily I will recite the Boy Scout's oath
Which has led to my spiritual and conscience growth!
I have helped foreigners and the poor at many times
And never have they mocked me or committed crimes,
I keep myself mentally awake and morally straight
To do my duty for God and for my country, I can't wait.
I live the Scout's motto so I am always prepared
To do a good turn daily I have always declared,
A better person I have always wanted to be
As I pray for my family and always for my country.
At our National Jamboree, the president arrived
While we Scouts celebrated scouting, our spirits were revived,
The president then insulted others and then he swore;
I am now a Boy Scout, no more.

I would like to translate this poem
In Boy Scouts I learned to cuss, and eat bad food and not fuss it was great and so am I a scout forever, until I die
