These songs are special to the Y-Indian Guide Programs. They can be used to help forge a strong identity among tribal members and reinforce the Y-Indian Guide Programs' aims.

Pals Forever
(Tune: "Clementine")

Pals Forever, Pals Forever,
That's our slogan, that's our song.
Boys are stronger, dads feel younger
When the take the boys along.
Moms are for it, dads adore it,
And the boys all think it's fine.
Pals Forever, Pals Forever,
As Indian Guides we'll have good times.
Through the days and through the years
We will wander side by side.
Pals forever, Pals Forever,
The Great Spirit is our guide.

Pack the Sleeping Bags
(Tune: "Jingle Bells")

Pack the sleeping bags,
Get out the frying pan,
Shame on he who lays,
Whether boy or man.
We will have some fun,
Out where the coyotes wail;
Oh, dad and son will feel like one,
When they're out on the trial.

(Chorus)

Indian Guides, Indian Guides
Happy as can be.
Indian Guides, Indian Guides
That's the club for me.
We'll take a hike
That's what we like.
Then home again go we.
Where dad and son have lots of fun,
That's where I want to be.

Little Brave Chopping
(Tune: Down at the Station")

Down at the tepees
Early in the morning.
See the Indian camp fires
Burning in a row.
Little brave is chopping
Wood for tepee fires.
Chop! Chop! Crack! Crack!
Watch him go.
