We begin with a song, end with a song and sometimes throw a song in during the middle of the meeting to calm the girls down, get a break in the routine, and have fun. Songs are a big part of all of our meetings. There are a lot of versions of this song, which is sung to the tune of “12 Days of Christmas.” The girls can even make up their own version based on their personal camp experience, adding in seven s’mores a roasting, five friends adventuring, or four campfires blazing!
The song allows the girls to be creative and have fun! There are a lot of different versions of this song from singing it softer, louder, in strange accents, pretending to be underwater, or changing the words around so girls can incorporate their own lyrics. This is a good old fashioned ‘repeat after me’ song that is about as silly as they come.

Boom Chicka Boomīeing a Girl Scout is not complete without knowing the full repertoire of Boom Chicka Boom. These kinds of songs also often use gestures and movements as the girls become more familiar with it, adding to the fun. Goofy, repetitive songs are a Girl Scout classic! My Cadettes introduced this song to me after learning it at camp, but there are plenty of other animal-themed songs in our Girl Scout collection, (such as Percy the Pale Faced Polar Bear). You will want to have several chants in your songbook, however, because the girls can get a little bored of singing the same song over and over again. If your troop is walking in a parade, or on a neighborhood walkabout selling cookies trying to get the community’s attention and let them know who’s coming down the street, nothing beats this chant. Girl Scout ChantĬhants are not only an easy way to get your troop singing, but also an awesome way to get your troop motivated. When my Brownies met with other Daisy troops for their bridging activity, this was the song they taught them.
This song has been passed down quite a bit in my own multi-level troop-my current Cadettes loved it as Daisies, and they taught it to younger girls in our troop when they worked on their Program Aide training this past spring. Hermie the Wormie is a great example, and is funny and incorporates hand gestures as well. Repetitive songs are good to teach a young group of girls, because they’re easy to memorize and participate in.
