In The Loop of the Octoraro Bend

It all began with the Dreams of Old, 
the Indian Brave and the Pioneer Bold, 
by camp fire light old tales retold 
in the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.

Those early Scouts with their campaign hats, 
their pressed wool shirts, their boots and spats, 
rekindled the Dream that had gone before 
in the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.

 

Refrain:
They built a camp on the Mason-Dixon Line, 
historic land where values shine, 
o Horseshoe your memories will 'err be mine, 
in the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.

The sun comes up over Flag Pole Hill, 
where Old Glory flew and is flying proudly still, 
and we'll march to the call at the end of the day 
in the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.

 

Refrain:

So let's hoist our packs once again my friend, 
where the waters flow round the tranquil Horseshoe Bend, 
and we'll hike and we'll camp in the Old Scout way 
in the Loop of the Octoraro Bend.

 

Refrain
