Nice stamps and a very interesting topic
I'm sure I have some scouting stamps too, but I have to dig through my boxes of unsorted stamps in order to find them first
To keep you entertained until then, here's a German scouting song for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NEN5cQ4q9MI'll try to translate the lyrics:
High out of the tree the finch is calling
Jolly reminding: "Drink! Drink!"
Drops start falling heavy
Out of the grey ocean of clouds.
Everything is drinking, tree and shrub
And the flowers are drinking too
But the finch keeps calling
Out of the tree: "Drink! Drink!"
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
"That's for me, you slack midget" (doesn't make that much sense in English)
"But I won't drink water"
"Do you know where's a tavern?"
"Oh, so come on and fly in front of me" (meaning "show me the way")
Like it was a magic spell
The finch flies away merriely
And shows me the tavern
And starts singing enticing "Fresh beer!"
And inside we fly
And the full jar foams
No longer the finch urges
Me in vein: "Drink! Drink!"
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
----
That's just how we are
