Thread Name: Old Girl Scout Songs
Subject: RE: Old Girl Scout Songs
The little sticks are Lemmi Sticks (or Lummi sticks, depending on which camp you went to). The bigger sticks are a Filipino folk dance done to anything with a good 3/4 beat.

Most of the songs everyone is talking about are still being sung, because we pass down what we know to younger Girl Scouts. Yes, Old Girl Scouts (those 18 and up) do sit and sing around fires, even into our 90's.

The thing to do is go to GirlScouts.org and use the Council Finder, or call 411, and tell your local council you want to volunteer, especially in outdoor programming. While teaching girls and adults to enjoy outdoor activities, you can be teaching and sharing songs, and be sure to build a campfire at night.

If camp isn't your thing, volunteer anyway and tell the member services director you want to sing--there are probably in-town workshops. We've even sung around a single log wrapped in Christmas lights.
