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:
Climb along! Climb along! with a cheer and a smile and a song!
Though it seems an awful lot to do, Other Scouts made good--and so can you!
Climb along! Climb along! and you"ll surely put it through.
Then lead your troop to Victory--for the Eaglets are calling you!
TENDERFOOT SONG
(_Tune_: "When You Come Back")
When I"m a Scout--and I _am_ a Scout, I"ll make the other girls jump and look out!
And as I get on, I surely will pa.s.s Like a bright la.s.s to the Scout"s Second Cla.s.s.
And when I"ve a First Cla.s.s up on my sleeve, Oh, it"s the proud girl I shall be! (Hurrah!) When I"m a Scout--and I _am_ a Scout, There"s a big job waiting for me!
ORGANIZING SONG
(_Tune_: "A Hot Time in the Old Town")
Come along, girls, get ready, let us form our patrol, Let us choose a dandy Captain who will make the Scouts enroll, All around us they are joining, and we can"t be left behind, Get your friends all together--see how many you can find!
[Ill.u.s.tration: THE BUILDERS. House built entirely by Girl Scouts]
CHORUS:
See, oh, see, the Scouts are coming in!
Once they join, they stick through thick and thin, And when they play the game, they"re pretty sure to win-- There"ll be a Scout troop in our town this year!
WINTER SONG
(_Tune_: "Keep the Home Fires Burning")
Keep the Scout work going, While the year is growing, Winter"s cold and dready, but "twill soon pa.s.s by!
We can all remember Through the long December Camps and hikes and swims and sports in the warm July!
HIKING SONG
(_Tune_: "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag")
Pack up your dinner in your brown knapsack, And hike, hike, hike!
Take all you need upon your own strong back, Wander where you like.
Leave the roads to motor cars, The side walks to the bike--_but_ Pack up your dinner in your brown knapsack, And hike, hike, hike!
SCOUT MARCHING SONG
(_Tune_: "Marching Through Georgia")
I.
Everywhere you go to-day, you"ll find a little Scout, Work or play, they lead the way, there can"t be any doubt, When their Country calls on them, they answer with a shout, Rah, rah, rah, for the Girl Scouts!
CHORUS:
