GIRL SCOUT LULLABYE
When evening comes and darkness softly falls,
Girl Scouts their rest around the camp fire seek
And each to herself her laws recalls.
Her truth, her honor, purity, obedience and loyalty
While softly, the moonbeams and stars twinkle brightly,
God's witnesses on high,
While the bugle sounds its soft good-night.
(Tune: "Carry'n On," from "The Better 'Ole")
The Girl Scouts are coming, their drums and their fifes
Sound echoes of gladness from joyous young lives.
See each is prepared to do her good deed,
To God and her country and all those in need.
Her knots and her signalling, first aid and drill,
Show regular practice—say, ain't that some skill?
Chorus:
My word, ain't they carry'n on
It's just great to think upon
Now Scouting's just the thing,
So let your joy bells ring
Because the Girl Scouts all are carrying on,
It's simply great, how they're carrying on.
ON THE TRAIL
The Girl Scouts' Marching Song
I.
Oh! this is the song we sing, as the gay Girl Scouts go marching,
Away on the trail we swing, with heaven over-arching,
As up, up, up the hill we climb, and down, down, down again,
Our hearts are happy all the time, and we step to the gay refrain,
Marching on! Marching on! Marching on through rain or sunshine!
