Because the Girl

Because the Girl
by Mimi Murray
National Operational Volunteer, Girl Scouts USA

Because the girl
has a need,
We have an obligation.

Because the girl
has a choice,
We must be her better choice.

Because the girl
has high expectations,
We must excel.

Because the girl
wants to explore,
We must be her guide.

Because the girl
wants to belong,
We must open our arms.

Because the girl
is searching for direction,
We must be her compass

Because the girl
encounters times of turmoil,
We must be her safe haven.

Because the girl
is tomorrow's woman,
We must care today.

Because of the girl…
We exist.
