Nubis, The Family Cat... Chaa!
Umm yeah... There are a few google hits for this, and it's been quite a while since I've done scouting and all, but do we really need this? I also think there could be copyright concerns in posting the entire lyrics to the song. Irongargoyle 19:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not really encyclopedia material. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 19:56, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not appropriate for an encyclopædia. --Starionwolf 20:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for being unencylopaedic and a strong candidate for inclusion in WP:Complete Bollocks. Eddie.willers 20:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it has been awhile since you were in Scouts! Your decision of "whether we need this" is based on your self admitted and limited exposure to what is going on in Scouting today.
 * DO NOT DELETE

Our boys are in it right now and are the ones who posted this as part of thier communications and Citizenship merit badges. We posted the lyrics to the song ourselves and don't mind at all if folks borrow, edit, or modify thier own versions of it in any way.

If the lyrics are the only thing keeping it from being accepted then we will just link them and have them removed.

The fact that you did find some google hits on this shows at least that it does deserve to exist

Wikipedia is a modern online encyclopedia and therefore by its very nature should live up to its true nature and include these type of pop-culture references, which under the Scouting world this classifies.

Keep an open mind and allow these boys to establish their home on Wikipedia and take part in this online experience. People are shut down far too quickly for creative thought these days and this is one of those times to expand the horizons and embrace the purpose for which this was created.

There is a Wikipedia reference on how to do the "Macarena Dance" and this is no different, it just applies to a Scout culture and not a club culture. Remove this page and then you must remove the Macarena one as well and the hundreds of other just like it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.215.5 (talk • contribs)
 * Strong Delete. non-encyclopedic nn song that, as it appears from the article, is relevant to only one nn troop.Agent 86 00:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: Your boys are to be commended for participating in scouting. I think it is something that many more young people should be involved in. Unfortunately, due to our guidelines and policies we can't include the troop song here, however I think it would be appropriately placed at Wikisource. --Hetar 00:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Wikipedia is not the place to post songs you made up in Boy Scouts, specifically when said song only applies to one Troop of however-many kids in one town. I was about to note that websites like Tripod offer free web-hosting packages...but it appears I'd be preaching to the choir. If the boys would like to enhance the Wikipedia to earn merit badges, then they can collaborate on working on articles about subjects that are of note to a wide audience. We have a Wikipedia project dedicated to Scouting which they can participate in. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and if you wouldn't find a topic in some sort of a national or international print encyclopedia (general or specialized), then it shouldn't be here.--FuriousFreddy 02:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
