A Girl Scout Circles Around
There once was a girl from the scouts
Who loved what her troop was about.
Courage and honesty, service, respect.
And a national network with which to connect.
Badge after badge she learned countless skills
To better herself and solve community ills.
But at the pinnacle, she felt a double-edged sword,
All too soon came her final day and her Gold Award.
“Is it over?” She worried. “What now?! Where is my troop?”
“We’re CircledAround you,” she heard from the group.
She looked up to see women, so smart! so inspiring!
All backgrounds, all ages, from young to retiring,
“We’re your advocates,” they said, “Perhaps a mentor,
We’re here to support you, lift you up ‘till you soar.”
“You’ve got this. You’ll break through that ceiling of glass!
For you are a champion, a scout is badass.”
