Girl Scout songs are an integral part of being a girl scout.  These are some of my favorites! Please enjoy them.  I grew up in the midwest, so if you are from a different region, you may have slightly different lyrics!  I've included links to YouTube videos, but they are not *my* videos - enjoy them, and let the artists know if you loved them!

Kookaburra

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, 

Merry, merry king of the bush is he, 

Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! 

Gay your life must be. 

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, 

Eating all the gum drops he can see, 

Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! 

Leave some there for me. 

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, 

 all the monkeys he can see, 

Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! 

That's not a monkey that's me. 

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail, 

Gets a boo-boo in his tail, 

Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra! 

Oh how life can be.

The Ash Grove

Link to the Ash Grove on YouTube

The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The wind through it playing has language for me.
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking,
A host of kind faces is gazing at me.
The friends from my childhood again are before me
Each step brings a memory as freely I roam.
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home.

Down yonder green meadow where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively roam
Or in the bright noon tide in solitude wander
Amid the dark spaces of that lonely ash grove.
‘Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singing
I first met my dear one the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the blue bells were springing
The ash grove, the ash grove that sheltered my home

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness;
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer.
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here.
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me;
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome,
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home

On my Honor

Chorus:
On my honor, I will try,
There's a duty to be done and I say aye.
There's a reason here for a reason above,
My honor is to try and my duty is to love.

People don't need to know my name,
If I've done any harm, then I'm to blame,
If I've helped another, then I helped me,
And opened up my eyes to see.

I've tucked away a song or two,
If you're feeling low there's one for you,
If you need a friend, then I will come,
There's plenty more where I come from.

Come and sit where the fire burns bright,
You can see much more by candlelight,
You can find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you can find in a year or so.

Make New Friends
Link to YouTube video for Make New Friends

Make new friends,

But keep the old.

One is silver,

And the other, gold.

A circle's round

It has no end

That's how long 

I'm gonna be your friend.

A fire burns bright,

It warms the heart.

We’ve been friends,

From the very start.

You help me,

And I’ll help you

And together

We will see it through.

The sky is blue

The Earth is green

I can help

To keep it clean.

Across the land

Across the sea

Friends forever

We will always be.

*Optional Verse*

A friend like you,

Is hard to find,

Very special,

And one of a kind.

This is a round, but can be sung together as well.  I also tend to use only 3 verses with my younger girls, just because its a lot to remember for them!

Linger

Link to YouTube video for Linger

Hmmm, I want to linger. 

Hmmm, a little longer. 

Hmmm, a little longer, 

Here with you. 

Hmmm, it’s such a perfect night. 

Hmmm, it doesn't seem quite right. 

Hmmm, that this should be, 

My last with you. 

Hmmm, and come September, 

Hmmm, I will remember, 

Hmmm, our Scouting days, 

Of friendships true. 

Hmmm, and as the years go by, 

Hmmm, I'll think of you and sigh. 

Hmmm, this is good night 

And not good bye. 

Hmmm, I want to linger. 

Hmmm, a little longer. 

Hmmm, a little longer, 

Here with you.
