It is the nature of boys. They like gross stuff. They like to get dirty. That’s why so many of them like Scouting. It gets them outside where they can explore, play around, sit around the campfire, and have fun.

There is an old song that many Scouts seem to enjoy listening to, and singing along to if they can memorize the verses. That song is Gopher Guts. You know, greasy, grimy, gopher guts. Mutilated monkey’s feet. All purpose porpoise puss. Yeah, that song.
This video posting to the Melrose Scouting Productions Podcast features the Boy Scouts of Troop 68 performing that very song during their 2002 Laughs For Lunch Show. Brett, the Scout who actual sings the song, did a great job and did not get tongue tied even once.

Okay, I don’t know why I missed this, but last Thursday was the one year anniversary of the first post to the Melrose Scouting Productions Podcast (MSPP). That first video introduced Buttons, the radical Boy Scout, to many people who had not yet seen him on Youtube.

Since that first video there have been a total of 34 posts made to the podcast. That is a lot of songs, skits, and Buttons videos. Shortly after those first videos I was invited to make MSPP part of the PTC Media network. It has turned out to be a great partnership.
I hope you have enjoyed watching the videos. Leave a comment. I would like to hear what were your favorites.
