"I was an active scout as a girl and my daughter recently started Brownies. Some of my fondest GS memories are time spent singing at camp. But as an adult, I remember so few of the words to all those songs. This series of GS song collections are wonderful...all the favorites are here and some of the ones I always wanted to learn but no one ever knew the tune/words. I've been playing the tapes in the car with my daughter, and she loves them. In fact, she is so enthusiastic, she has become her troop's "song leader." The quality of the production is great and very up-tempo. Some have just the adult lead singer, buy most have some actual girls singing. My only complaint is that I wish the printing on the included lyric cards wasn't so tiny...learning all the words to the songs is tough when you have to keep referring to such a little piece of paper.I bought my tapes at my local council office. We've played them so much, I'm thinking of ordering the CDs. If you want to have a great encyclopedia of GS songs, get the whole collection!"

"I call this the WAGGS album because of all of Melinda Carroll's Girl Scout song albums, this contains the most songs spanning the ages in Girl Scouting: Girl Scouts Together, Our Chalet, The Brownie Smile Song, When'er You Make a Promise, Our Cabana, Make New Friends, Kum Ba Ya. Who else could sing the Girl Scout Songs with such fervor but the Girl Scouts themselves. Melinda Carroll is a singer and composer who started as a Brownie and later the troop leader of her daughter's Troop #755 from Daisies to Cadettes. She was honored as the National Songleader for the GSUSA in 2000. She is also a lifetime member of the GSUSA. Her melodic voice melds with the cherubic voices of Brownies and Juniors, the Cadettes and Seniors who sang with her to produce these albums. It will bring joy to every Girl Scout and Girl Scout leader. This album and the others in this series represents the fun and friendship in scouting and will easily bring back all the wonderful memories. It will be a treasured gift for any Girl Scout.



Amazon.com however, can do better with the $19.99 price tag of these albums since they are available through other websites for a lower price."
