One of the finest things to cultivate if you are in close proximity to other camps is an inter-camp relationship, either in the forms of inter-camp contests or frolics, or any demonstration which you think betokens friendship. This may even go so far as the building of inter-camp shacks and the making of inter-camp trails.
It is not only illuminating to come into contact with another camp besides your own—it is a source of great diversion and enjoyment, if there is plenty of fun and friendship, and an absence of group jealousy.
4. Camp Sings
Singing is a great and important part of camp life, for it reflects every phase and meets all the situations of that life.
Songs are generally composed by the individual or by groups, being the expression of their feelings, or results of their experience in camp. The songs are quickly adopted by the camp as a whole because people like to sing their own songs, especially songs about fresh, actual happenings.
Some of the songs which reflect universal experience live on through the years and become traditional, while others drop out and are never heard of again. The following are Girl Scout Songs that have weathered more or less satisfactorily.
THE VICTORY GIRLS
(Tune: "K-K-Katy")
G-G-G-Girl Scouts!
You Victory Girl Scouts!
You're the only Victory Girls that get our votes.
And when you march by,
Under your troop flags,
We'll be cheering for your K-K-K-Khaki coats!
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[A]) 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!
