PATROL MEMBERS READ THE LINES
On this special day, we remember that we owe a debt of love and gratitude to our
founder for the gift of Girl Scouting which she brought to our shores, for her
struggles to set up his movement amidst a sea of apathy, for her courage and her
strength to live up the promise even to the very end.

She was a woman imbued with lofty ideals whose life was spent solely in the
performance of a noble mission and whose martyrdom in the hands of the enemy
will shine forever as a living symbol of the true spirit of the Filipino woman.

O thou great founder, champion of girlhood’s cause
Come we in homage share, as now we pause
Grateful are we to thee in all humanity
We’ll pray for thy repose in God’s own home
Here are thy children blest by thy love and care,
girl Scouting marches on lured by thy hand
Faithful and true we’ll be in all activity,
Escoda, mother dear, honors thee.
List to our praising dear name we are all revere

Our gifts of love we bring pure and sincere
Thy life our torch and guide where’re Girl Scouting goes,
Escoda, nation’s pride, loved and adored.

Song: ( All) Hindi Kita Malilimutan

Hindi kitya malilimutan
hindi kita pababayaan
Nakaukit magpakailan man
Sa ‘king palad
Ang iyong pangalan
Malilimutan ba ng ina
ang anak na galing sa kanya
Sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan
Paano niyang matatalikdan
Ngunit kahit na malimutan
Ng ina ang anak niyang tangan
Hindi kita malilimutan

Kailam ma’y di pababayaan ( Repeat 2x)
Ending Narration: CAMILA, JENSINE, JULLEAN

Even as our founder sowed seeds of understanding all along her way, so shall we, in our
little ways, seek to bring understanding into the world beset by fears and troubles.

spirit of Scouting, the spirit of love all over the world.
