I have my own saga of searching for this song. My whole decade in Scouts I "looked high and low" for the song without success. I found myself at a Debbie Reynolds show in Reno and sent a note backstage as I knew Mrs. Reynolds had been a troop leader and the National spokesperson for the Follow the Piper project. Three weeks later I received a handwritten postcard from her written from her show in Las Vegas saying she didn't know, but check with National (GSUSA). I had already done that without success. In 1986 I went to an all-adult GS volunteer retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains where a visiting council's singing group (The Daisy Low Notes) were attending - AND HAD IT! If you want the guitar chords, they are: C Am F G7 Now Julie and Judy and Janie and Joan C Am F G7 Were all very little and wished they were grown C Am F G7 So they got together and all did agree, C F G7 C That they would go hunting the Growing Up Tree They looked high and low in the street and the park They looked in the light and they looked in the dark Til they met a wise woman who told them that she Would help them to hunt for the Growing Up Tree F C F G7 The Growing Up Tree, the Growing Up Tree C F G7 C The wonderful, mystical, Growing Up Tree There are records on Amazon/Ebay/etc. One is a 45 with 2 versions, one is "NOW Favorites" recorded by The Auroras, and one is a Nanette Guilford recording.
