MARCHING SONG

(Tune: "Where Do We Go from Here, Boys?")

Where do we go from here, girls, where do we go from here? Anywhere (our Captain) leads we'll follow, never fear. The world is full of dandy girls, but wait till we appear--Then! Girl Scouts, Girl Scouts, give us a hearty cheer!

Supply Captain's name.

WE'RE COMING!

(Tune: "Old Black Joe")

Camping Song

Come where the lake lies gleaming in the sun, Come where the days are filled with work and fun, Come where the moon hangs out her evening lamp, The Scouts are trooping, trooping, trooping, back to Camp.

CHORUS:

We're coming! We're coming! to the lakes, the hills, the sea. Old Mother Nature calls her children--you and me!

II.

Come where we learn the wisdom of the wood, Come where we prove that simple things are good, Come where we pledge allegiance to our land, America! you've called your daughters--here we stand.

CHORUS:

We're coming! We're coming, till we spread from sea to sea, Our country needs us--wants us--calls us--you and me!

RALLY SONG

(Tune: "Smiles")

There are girls that make you gloomy, There are girls that make you gay, There are girls forever hanging backward, There are girls who like to lead the way, But that girl that's always at "attention!" That her Country cannot do without, That we know the world can always count on-- She is my girl--the good Girl Scout.

THE LONG, LONG LINE

(Tune: "The Long, Long Trail")

Recruiting Song

Do you feel a little lonely? Are your friends too few? Would you like to join some jolly girls In the things you think and do? Don't you know your Country's waiting? Have you heard her call? See, the Scouts are crowding, crowding in, Where there's room for one and all!

CHORUS:

There's a long, long line a-growing, From north to south, east to west, There's a place a-waiting in it, too, that you'll fill best! We are sure you'd like to join us If you knew what we can do, And we'd like, O how we'd like, to make a good Girl Scout of you!

CLIMB ALONG!

(Tune: "Joan of Arc")

Golden Eaglet Song

Some girls are working, some girls are shirking, Some girls are too scared to try, Pluck up your grit, girls, use all your wit, girls, See where the Gold Eaglets fly! Watch them up above there, circling in the blue, Earn them--and they'll fly to you!

CHORUS:
