Chapter II

Nothing is too big or small for any Scout to do,
Call them if you need their help, and they will see you through,
Here's their motto--Be Prepared!--they mean it, yes, they do!
Rah, rah, rah, for the Girl Scouts!

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!

CHORUS:

Sing ho! for the way, and hurrah! for the day,
As we march along together,
Then naught are the hills, or the miles or the ills,
When the Girl Scouts take the trail.
Sing ho! for the way, and hurrah! for the day,
As we march along together!
Then naught are the hills, or the miles or the ills
When the Girl Scouts take the trail.
