For most uniform groups, especially Scouts (coz' our campfire songs are just that damn good compared to the rest... haha kidding...), you would hear the song, 'New Friend Found' as a wonderful song to grab a girl guide or girls in scouting to dance with...
However, besides trying to pick up a girl... which sadly nowadays, all I see is guys dancing with guys and girls dancing with girls, what's with this new trend now? Anyway, just thought of the meaning a while ago...
Despite the original meaning, whereby the girl will stand in front of the guy and they would hold hands to dance with. And each time the song restarts, the girl will move backwards to the next guy. So here is how it goes:
As we walked to the left, as we walked to the right
As we walked, as we walked, as we walked all night
With a heel and a toe and a half turn around
With a heel and a toe and a new friend found.
In life, we always meet new friends.... although there's a saying whereby: "If the old ones doesn't go away, how does the new one come along." If it's about boy-girl relationship... I guess it's kinda true... but it wouldn't be true if it comes to friendships. Friends are friends for life...
Last night, a group of rovers met up to celebrate the finding of two new rover brothers and advisers. It was a simple celebration, yet a meaningful one (perhaps, I find that so...). Wolf asked me, how did I feel about it? I guess, no matter how tired, how much effort and time I have to spare, if it's for my brothers and sisters in scouting to experience something new and to celebrate for their step forward into a new journey... it's all worth it.
The most precious in life, I guess is time. Time that is being used to spend time with your friends, family and other people. Time to wait patiently for friends to return by your side and to share your joy with them...
To celebrate for those new scouters and new friends found ... and to end the night with each other... here's a song for our brothers and sisters in scouting and guiding:
By the blazing council firelight
We’ve met in comradeship tonight
Round about the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories
And so before we close our eyes to sleep
Let us pledge each other that we’ll keep.
Scouting friendship strong and deep
Till we meet again
