Sugar Hollow - Cadette Unit, Summer 1995

During the summers I sometimes volunteer to help lead a unit at the local Girl Scout Day Camp. In the summer of 1995, Jennifer Whitenack and I led a group of 8 girls on a backpacking expedition in the nearby Shenandoah National Park. It was great fun - we saw waterfalls, pools of water, much vegetation. We hiked up and down the moutains and hills with a truly great group of young women. As we went, we created this song that we performed for other campers at the sharing time at the end of the week:

Beginning call:

Hi Ho

Sing before each verse and at the end:

Hi Ho, Hi Ho,
It's off to hike we go

Margarget:

The food was great
We ate and ate
(And ate and ate)
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Kate:

You'll get wet
But don't you fret
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Ashley:

The water's cold
But we are bold
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Amanda:

We don't wear skirts
We smell like dirt
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Kelly:

The trail is long
But we are strong
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Amanda:

We tried to fight
But the bugs did bite
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Kristi

When we gotta go
We did a hole
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Monique:

We climbed the hills
Through strength of will
Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Ending call:

Hi Ho
