Six Girl Scout Camp Songs To Learn This Summer
We have assembled a list of some classic Girl Scout Camp songs. So
whether you have forgotten the words, never learned them to begin
with, or need a refresher in order to teach them to your
campers.
- Princess Pat (One of my personal faves!)
- The Banana Song
- There was a Great Big Moose
-
Alive,
Awake, Alert, Enthusiastic (Please note: I have been told,
by a very passionate GSRV employee and Troop Support Team member,
that the actions demonstrated in this video are NOT the “right
ones”.) According to this veteran Girl Scout the actions should be
as follows:
- Alive—touch the top of your head with both hands
- Alert—touch your shoulders with both hands- left hand on left shoulder- right hand on right shoulder
- Awake—touch your shoulders with arms crossed- left hand on right shoulder- right hand on left shoulder
- Enthusi—slap your thighs -as- clap -tic- snap both fingers
- Just a Boy and a Girl (Little Canoe)
- 40 Years on an Iceberg (Here in the GSRV area we do the song a little differently from the video- we opt for the “repeat after me” version and throw in some extra hugs for additional polar bears.)
