On my honor, I will try:
Make new friends, but keep the old.
To serve God and my country,
One is silver, the other is gold.
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
A circle is round, it has no end.
That’s how long, I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.
We’ve been friends, from the very start.
You have one hand, I have the other.
Put them together, we have each other.
Silver is precious, gold is too.
I am precious, and so are you.
You help me and I’ll help you
and together we will see it through.
Girl Scout Law
The sky is blue. The Earth is green I will do my best to be and to
I can help to keep it clean honest and fair, respect myself and others,
friendly and helpful, respect authority,
Across the land, Across the sea considerate and caring, use resources wisely,
Friends forever we will always be courageous and strong, make the world a better place,
and responsible for what I say and do, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence,
and character, who make the world a better place.Thank you to our sponsors:
