This is a list of songs that are traditionally sung by South East Nottinghamshire Venture Scouts. They are sung at campfires and the like, usually when drunk. The annual "water weekend" at Pugneys Country Park, Wakefield, West Yorkshire is particulary famous for this. The songs come from many sources, and are a right mixed bunch. As stated in the warning several of them are quite "adult" - "rugby song" is a fair term. If you are easily offended, please leave.....NOW!
The classification system on the left provides a rough guide, based obviously enough on th Britsh Board of Film Censors. In general terms 'U' means absolutely nothing bad at all. 'PG' suggests a couple of swear words or implied swearing. '18' really does get very dirty indeed!
