“G” for Generosity
Most the songs I’ve posted came from my days at Girl Scout camp, but there were songs we sang in our troop meetings as well. This is one of those songs that are great to sing while waiting for people or things (like a bus, or for the last of the girls to show up for a meeting). We generally sang it when we were out & about as a group to let everyone know that we were a Girl Scout troop on the move!
She wears a G for generosity,
She wears a I for interest too,
She wears a R for responsibility,
She wears a L for loyalty, for loyalty
She wears a S for her sincerity,
She wears a C for courtesy,
She wears a O-U-T for outdoor life, outdoor life,
and that Girl Scout is me! (Believe it or not!)
