Scout's Own
Theme: “Founder’s Day”

All: Juliette Low once said:

1st Solo: Did you ever think how wonderful it is that with every new spring, sap rises in trees? No one knows whence it comes, but it flows from root to branch and makes a dead, bare tree blossom with green leaves.....

And so it is with GSing: it rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best. In every path of life, you have a chance to show what a GS can do.

All: Juliette Gordon Low knew that time flies swiftly. Today is soon tommorow, and all of our tommorows lie in the hands of youth. Her gift to youth was GSing, and her dream, a tree of fellowship grown from a tiny seed.

Light Voices: She knew the seed would ripen

Dark Voices: The tree grew...

2nd Solo: Nourished by faith...

3rd Solo: Watered by service...

4th Solo: Tended by love.

5th Solo: “I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, and for all America, and all the world.”

Light Voices: She said, in the phone call that made history.

All: Yes, we started it that night. She brought the seed from England, and we helped her plant that seed in the rich soil of Georgia, we twelve.

6th Solo: On my honor, I will try,

2 Voices: Each said

4 Voices: Soon, there were scores of us

6 Voices: Hundreds

8 Voices: Then thousands

All: Now, we are three million strong, each living the Promise.

7th Solo: Let us all repeat it together

All: On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country To help people at all times And to live by the GS Law

Light Voices: Duty, Service, Loyalty ... there were ten challenges

Dark Voices: These the roots our founder planted many years ago

8th Solo: The tree grew strong and flourished

Dark Voices: It’s branches - delight in the out-of-doors, joy in the arts

Light Voices: It’s leaves - fun, friendship, new things to do

All: Juliette Low knew what girls wanted. She said:

9th Solo: “If it isn’t right, the girls won’t take it, and it won’t last.”

All: Three million voices answer: “It is right. It will last. Thanks to your inspiration, Juliette Gordon Low.”
