Following is a throwback that was published in The Raymond News on August 27, 1964. By the way, this Saturday, 10/31 marks the 160th birthday of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts.
Reading this made me think about all the fun my friends and I had in the 70's, when we were in Junior Girl Scout Troop #208 led by Diane Pitchford and Roberta Mitts. Sometime, I'll have to write down my memories from those days. In the meantime, here are the words to my all-time favorite Girl Scout campfire song. How many of you remember it?
Days of Girl Scouting
will fly away, die away
Days of true friendship
will be memories
We have loved, we have
learned
Let us now teach in turn
That the flame we have
kindled forever shall burn.
All of our footsteps will fade away, fade away
Others will follow the
paths we have trod
With their hearts full
of love
And their songs full of
joy
To keep the flame
burning for those yet to come.
