Follow Me, Boys! is a 1966 family movie released through Walt Disney Pictures, based on the book God and My Country by MacKinlay Kantor. The film starred Fred MacMurray and Vera Miles, was co-produced by Walt Disney and Winston Hibler, directed by Norman Tokar, and written by Louis Pelletier. It is one of the few movies where Boy Scouts are key to the film and is Disney's paean to the Boy Scouts. The title song "Follow Me, Boys!" was written by studio favorites: Bob and Dick Sherman. For a time, after the film was released, the Boy Scouts of America were considering using the song as their anthem but efforts toward this end were eventually dropped. The film is also known as On My Honor, which was its working title. This is the first of ten Disney films which Kurt Russell would appear in over the next ten years. A DVD version was released on February 3, 2004.

After one year too many on the road with a ramshackle jazz band, Lem Siddons (MacMurray) decides to put down roots in Hickory, a small Midwestern town by taking a job in a general store. With the dual purpose of impressing bank teller Vida Downey (Miles) and instilling values in the local boys and keep them out of trouble, Siddons starts a local Boy Scout troop, which sets him on a lifelong roller-coaster ride as a Scoutmaster to a steady stream of high-spirited youngsters. Siddons soon marries local sweetheart Downey and finds the two loves of his life: Downey and Scouting.
