The Year of the Girl

The year of the girl

100 years of being strong

From learning what’s right

And learning what’s wrong

100 years of being proud

Of being heard

And being loud

The songs they sing

The things they do

Will affect both, me

And you

The badges

The patches

And the Journeys too

Teach them new skills

And new things to do

If only everyone else

Was a Girl Scout

Then the whole world

 Would work together

And know what being heard is all about
