Girl Guide/Girl Scout History Cadence
by Laurie Schultz
(to the tune of the
Generic Army Marching Cadence)
There was a man named Baden-Powell
Started us out toward our goal.
He spread scouting far and wide
And his wife worked with Girl Guides.
Lady Olave was the first Chief Guide
She spread the news the world wide
Each Guide will her Promise say
And help people every day
World Centers we have four
In Africa we'll place one more.
In Our Cabana Girl Guides stay
Near the Grand Sierra Madre
If you go to England fair
Pax Lodge is located there
Traveling 'round the world wide
Every corner holds Girl Guides
In India you'll find a room
Sangam's located in Pune
In Switzerland there is a hike,
But Our Chalet you'll surely like
Camping, hiking, playing, too
Never resting 'til they're through
Want to see what its about,
Come on check Girl Guiding out.
FOLLOW ME BOYS
Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman
From the Walt Disney Film "Follow Me Boys"
Based upon the book: God and My Country By
MacKinlay Kantor
Chorus:
Follow me, boys, Follow me!
When you think you're really beat,
That's the time to lift your feet,
And follow me, boys, follow me!
Pick them up, put them down,
And follow me.
Sergeant Reilley said, There's a fight to
win!
Follow me, boys, follow me!
And it won't be done till we all pitch in.
Lift your chin with a grin and follow me!
Chorus
Shout: Pick them up, put them down, pick them up!
It's a long long time, but we've got the
will.
Follow me, boys, follow me!
When we reach the top then it's all down
hill.
Till you drop, don't stop, and follow me!
Chorus
Though the journey's end is beyond our
sight.
Follow me, boys, follow me!
If we do our best then we've done all right.
Pack you load, hit the road, and follow me!
Chorus
Shout: Pick them up, put them down,
pick them
up!
We were all packed in when the sergeant
said,
Follow me, boys, follow me!
We got off our backs and prepared our attack, When our sergeant hollered, Follow me!
Chorus
There's a job to do, there's a fight to win,
Follow me, boys, follow me!
And it won't be done till we all pitch in.
Lift your chin with a grin, and follow me!
Chorus
The Happy Wanderer
