bells ring
Because the Girl Scouts all are carrying on,
It's simply great, how they're carrying on.

ON THE TRAIL

The Girl Scouts' Marching Song

I.

Oh! this is the song we sing, as the gay Girl Scouts go marching,
Away on the trail we swing, with heaven over-arching,
As up, up, up the hill we climb, and down, down, down again,
Our hearts are happy all the time, and we step to the gay refrain,
Marching on! Marching on! Marching on through rain or sunshine!

CHORUS:

Sing ho! for the way, and hurrah! for the day,
As we march along together,
Then naught are the hills, or the miles or the ills,
When the Girl Scouts take the trail.
Sing ho! for the way, and hurrah! for the day,
As we march along together!
Then naught are the hills, or the miles or the ills
When the Girl Scouts take the trail.

II.

The sun is a comrade old, with a warm and hearty blessing,
The wind, with his fingers cold, will tease in rough caressing,
The friendly trees make shadow sweet, on roads that wind and wind,
The grass is tender to our feet, and even the rain is kind.

Good morning, Caterpillar dear,
Hanging down to kiss us every day;
Good morning, Caterpillar dear,
You're never far away.
You're with us at breakfast and dinner, too;
At rest your numbers are not a few.
Good morning, Caterpillar dear,
For the beetles soon will get you,
The beetles soon will get you,
The beetles soon will get you
Here!!!

COMPANY B

Good morning! Keep your posture straight,
With your spine just as long as mine;
Good morning! Take your exercise,
With all your bones in a line;
Skull and thorax and pelvis, too,
Keep a plumb line, that's what you do.
Good morning! Keep your posture straight,
With your spine just as long as--
Your spine just as long as--
Your spine just as long as--
Mine.

COMPANY C

Good morning! When inspection comes,
