Boomalacka!

In the middle of any campfire, there is a time when you want to let everyone know who you are. This is a nice yell with a space in the last line for you to identify yourselves; I've put in one of my old (and sadly, expired) groups. When there are a couple of groups round the fire, this can be led with yells alternately by leaders from each group. If you do that, however, it's good to have a 'joint' verse at the end to bring everyone together again.

Boomalacka, Boomalacka,
Bow wow wow,
Chingalacka, Chingalacka,
Chow chow chow,
Boomalacka, Chingalacka,
Who are we?
Forestdale Cub Scouts, can't you see?

In the 'joint' chant, something like 'We're all Cub Scouts, can't you see?' or 'Beckenham District, can't you see?' does the job very nicely.
