Thread Name: Old Girl Scout Songs
Subject: RE: Old Girl Scout Songs
This rhyme was recited by an African American Girl Scout group as they marched in Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania's Black Heritage Day parade [2004]. So it's not really an "old Girl Scout song" or a song at all, but I thought it might still be appropriate to post it in this thread.
Caller: Every we go
Group Every we go
Caller: People want to know
Group: People want to know
Caller: who we are.
Group: who we are
Caller: So we tell them-
Group: So we tell them-
Caller: We are the Girl Scouts!
Group: We are the Girl Scouts!
Caller: Mighty, mighty Girl Scouts!
Group: Mighty, mighty Girl Scouts!

It probably is impossible to find out when groups began using this, but I think it was originally a call & response cheerleader chant.
