'''Cub Scout Vesper Song''' <ref>Campfiresongs warleyscouts[http://www.warleyscouts.org.uk/resources/campfiresongs/15.php]</ref><br />
<blockquote>Softly falls the light of day,<br />
While our campfire fades away,<br />
Silently each Cub should ask,<br />
Have I done my daily task?<br />
For my country done my best?<br />
Prayed to God before I rest?<br />
Helped a friend along the way?<br />
Have I done my best today?<br /></blockquote>

'''Scout Vespers''' is a traditional song of the [[Scouting|Boy Scouts]]. The first verse below is universal, but the second is at times omitted. The song occasionally ends with one of these 2 spoken [[blessing]]s: 
# May the great Master of all Scouts be with us 'til we meet again, and may we follow the path that leads to him
# And now may our heavenly Scoutmaster watch over us and all ordinary Scouts, and may we follow the trail that leads to him.
