Subject: Cheers/Cadences in Lowlands

Hello all,

I'm curious to know if there are any particular "cheers" that are used in
the Lowlands for "counting off" in a group?

For example, there's one that's used here a lot by Cub Scout groups (I'm
actually a "den leader" and was hoping to get a few of these in Lowlands
languages) that goes:

I don't know but I've been told,

118 is made of gold. (118 is our Cub Scout "pack number")

The first two lines are often different depending on the situation,
but the rest is usually the same:

Sound off! One, Two!

Hit it again! Three, Four!

Bring it on down! One, Two, Three, Four - One, Two, Three, Four!

This is typically sung/chanted while either marching or walking a long
distance.

Wondering if similar "cheers" are used in the Lowlands (possibly even among
Scouting groups/organizations)? I'd like to learn a few and share them with
my den!

Thanks very much!!
