A Scouting Song

Thank you for the beautiful American songs. We were a musical family and the American songbook was a part of life, as much as Sunday church and fishing after school.
I often wonder, Would our society be so crass and mean if more of us sang together on Friday night?
Here’s a gem I found a year or two ago also involving Roy Rogers. It’s the theme song for a Hollywood movie about the 1953 Boy Scout Jamboree in Irvine. That’s the sound of innocent youth – American boyhood –before the soul-crushing Sixties destroyed it.
Rogers was at the Jamboree with Trigger and probably Dale.
I grew up in that world and I want this back. It was good.
