Yells
Yells are short verses, usually with no particular
tune or meaning, that are "yelled" out loud to welcome a visitor, congratulate
a scout, or applaud something just said or done. When a scout starts a
yell, all other scouts join in with him; some yells are in the form of
question and answer, i.e. one scout says a part and the rest answer back
to him.
Here are some of the most popular yells in Lebanon.
If you'd like to add a yell, whether Lebanese or International, or for
any inquiry or comment, e-mail me: [email protected]
