Here's the best I could find:

1.One long blast means “Silence”, “Alert”; “Look out for my next signal”.
2.A succession of long, slow blasts means “Go out”, “Get farther away”, or “Advance”, “Extend,” “Scatter”.
3.A succession of short, sharp blasts means “Rally”, “Close in”,”Come together”, “Fall in”.
4.A succession of short and long blasts alternately means “Alarm”,”Look out”, “Be ready”, “Man your alarm posts”.
5.Three short blasts followed by one long one from the Scoutmaster calls up the Patrol Leaders-i.e., “Leaders come here”.

Three blasts is the universal distress signal. It's best no to get it mixed in with a bunch of other messages, unless it's "come to me."

When we are in range of voice whistles we use bobwhite quail whistles because we don't have any bobwhite quail anymore. Seems to work well. We just use this to locate each other.
