Evening sunset paints the sky,
Smoke from campfire drifts on high;
Songs and stories we like best,
Just before we go to rest.
Goodnight to every . . . Scout, say goodnight,
To those away and these here in our sight.
The fun we've had we will not soon forget;
The things we've learned and the pals we've met.
And so, goodnight to every . . . Scout, say goodnight.
Above may each {girl's/boy's} star send forth its light.
While songs and stories shared now wing their flight,
Goodnight, sweet dreams, goodnight!
