Linger..., April 14, 2005
This review is from: Girl Scouts Greatest Hits Vol. 4 Celebrate Together! (Audio CD)
These songs will linger in your mind, like all the other Girl Scout songs and memories. This album includes songs that Girl Scouts of all ages will appreciate but most especially the Leader, since these songs are used for Girl Scouts ceremonies such as Bridging, Investiture, Camping, Saying Grace, Thanks and meeting new friends. They will not make you crack up like "Boom Chica Boom" or dumbfounded and tongue-tied like "Lu-la-le". These are the songs that bring warmth to your heart because they are associated with the most solemn ceremonies. My favorite song in this album is "Linger". Melinda Carroll sings it so beautifully. Listening to it reminds me of the last campfire circle I attended as a Senior. I see a clear picture of my Patrol spending the last night at camp. Our Patrol name was "Cheerful" and our tent was right next to "Joy" Patrol's tent. Our voices were hushed, so were our giggles after Taps, then we heard the Leaders' footsteps outside our tents as they prepare to sing the lullaby to each Patrol, "Goodnight ladies, it's time to say goodnight..."
Girl Scout songs provide a fascinating view of Girl Scouting. It gives each girl a private and personal feeling yet one that is understood and shared by millions of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all over the world. When a Girl Scout thinks of the past, there is a faint smile in her face and an even bigger smile in her heart. A Girl Scout does not really want to turn back the clock to relive the times, as a leader she lets it live through her daughter and other young girls. Her wonderful and sweet memories are the best of all badges...
