MUSIC AND SCOUTING  

You are listening to the Boy Scouts of America March published in 1916 and written by John Phillip Souza.  Marches were very popular in the early part of the century and Boy Scouts were a popular topic for them.  Over 80 known songs about Scouting have been written and many of them were marches.  Royalties from another standard, "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin were allocated to the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls.  If you couldn't hear it, it's time to upgrade your browser.
