Wolverton Pep Song
We’ve burnt down Crescent Meadow
And we’ve chopped the Sherman Tree
And we’ve dynamited Moro Rock
To see the tourists flee...
And now we’re back at Wolverton
Destructive as can be
Sequoia Park for me...

Glory, glory what’s it to ya...(ter)
Sequoia Park for me.

Oh Here By The Fire
Oh here by the fire
We defy the frost and storm;
Ah ha we are warm,
And we have our hearts desire!
For here we’re good fellows,
And the redwoods and the bellows
And the cup is at the lip...
In the pledge of fellowship...(bis)

(last line - “of fellowship.”
Repeat the first four lines for the fast &
slow part of the first and fourth lines,
then repeat all eight lines.

 The Spearment Song
Does the spearment loose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If you put it on the left side,
Will it end up on the right?
If you scratch your back in the morning
will it itch again at night?
Does the spearment loose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?

Hiking Song
Over hill, over dale,
We will hit the redwood trail
As the Boy Scouts go marching along.

And its hi, hi, hee, the B.S.A. for me,
Shout out our name and shout it strong,
Where ere we go, we will always know,
That the Boy Scouts go hiking along.

Hail, Hail, Scouting Spirit
Hail, hail, Scouting spirit
Best in the land.
Hail, hail, Scouting spirit
Loyal we stand.
Onward & upward we’re treading
Always alert to make Scouting ready,
We are prepared.
Hail, hail, Scouting spirit
Hail, hail, hail!

Wolverton Team Song
We’re the Wolverton Team
The finest ever seen.
At a great campsite, we’ve brought
To life, Scoutings every dream.
Be the challenge great or small,
We’ll sound the bugle call;
And stand together, comrades forever,
Brothers one and all.

No matter where we are,
They’ll praise our name afar.
We’re birds of a feather,
Camping together underneath the stars.
We’re on the Scouting trail,
and we will never fail
To guard the name that’s brought us fame,
Wolverton all hail!

 On My Honor
On my honor as a Scout,
I’ll be loyal, brave and stout;
Lend a helping hand;
Let the truth command;
Take a fighting stand for those in need,
Clean in body, clean in mind;
Always helpful, always kind,
I will do my duty to my God and Country;
On my honor as a Scout.

Wolverton Hymn - as printed in 1958
Hear the rivers mighty booming
see the watchful eagles zooming,
And majestic mountains looming
over Woverton:

Stalwart scouts in lines unending,
blaze the trail that is ascending
To the treasures God is tending,
Here at Wolverton

Rocky gorges dare us,
snow fed streams don’t scare us,
We’ll climb astride the great divide,
and see the glories of the high sierras:

Climb you pioneers clad in khaki
climb with the bold, the strong and happy,
Hail my mountain camp of dreams;
Hail to Wolverton

(by 1962, modifications had been made
which have remained to this day)

The Upward Trail
We’re on the upward trail,
We’re on the upward trail,
Singing as we go,
Going home.

We’re on the upward trail,
We’re on the upward trail,
Singing, singing, everbody singing,
Scouting bound.
