We are Brownies Sung to Tune: "Are You Sleeping?" We are Brownies, we are Brownies, In a ring, in a ring. We are Girl Scout Brownies, we are Girl Scout Brownies Hear us sing, hear us sing. We discover, we discover Things to do, things to do. We are ready helpers, we are ready helpers. How bout you, how bout you? (point) Friendship Circle Song Make New Friends Make new friends, But keep the old. One is silver, And the other s gold. A circle is round, It has no end. That's how long, I will be your friend. (Each girl says their name one at a time)
