Raise your voice and create community through song! Whether around the campfire or at a troop gathering, you will learn, perform, and lead classic Girl Scout songs in addition to songs that you bring with you. Become more confident as a musical group performer and leader. Explore rhythm, melody, lyric writing, vocal and instrumental performance, and improvisation. In our song circles, you can learn to create community through the arts and continue a timeless Girl Scout tradition: bringing people together through music!

 

Our Song Circle Highlights:

 

  • Gather 'Round the Campfire or Song Circle: Be welcomed with open arms, and join your fellow Girl Scouts in learning Girl Scout songs old and new!
  • Sing, Strum, and Create: Whether you join us as a singer or bring a portable instrument of your choice, you will learn how to participate in Girl Scout songs, to lead performance groups, and to share songs that you already know. Become a lyricist, and pair original lyrics to melodies that you know to create custom songs!
  • Harmonize and Create Harmony: As you perform with others in a welcoming space, you are free to develop your style and explore rhythm, tone, pitch, key and volume. Become more confident in band accompaniment, solo performance, and leadership in a variety of styles. Learn how to help musicians of all abilities and styles feel welcomed, empowered, heard and engaged in your own "jam circles" or "song sessions."
