Whether singing around a campfire or joining a chorus of voices on the Mall in Washington, D.C., Girl Scouts
have always enjoyed the fun and fellowship of music. In fact, the first Girl Scout Song Book, a collection of
songs put together by girl members, was published in 1925.
Songs can be used to open or close meetings, enhance ceremonies, lighten a load while hiking, or share a
special moment with other Girl Scouts. For tips on choosing and leading songs, go to
http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/activity_ideas/songleading.asp. A variety of songbooks are
also available for purchase. Check out your council shop or visit the GSUSA online shop.
