Girl Boy Scouts

Calling all Girl Scouts!
It’s time to make noise,
‘Cause if you so choose
You can hang with the Boys!

Perhaps someone thought
That you envied their clan
And would be better off
With a role model man.

But it somehow seems wrong
If the name stays the same,
For the Boy Scouts implies
There’s no room for a dame.

Either keep them apart
Or just call them all Scouts,
Then whoever wants in
Will not have any doubts.
