The Growing Up Tree

Judy and Julie and Janie and Joan
Were all very little and wished they were grown,
So they got together and all did agree
That they would go hunting the Growing Up Tree.

They looked in the street and they looked in the park.
They looked in the light and they looked in the dark,
'Til they met a Wise Woman who told them that she
Would help them to hunt for the Growing Up Tree.

The Growing Up Tree, the Growing Up Tree,
The wonderful, mystical Growing Up Tree.

They hunted for many a year and a day.
The Wise Woman smiled as they went on their way,
For she knew as she watched them grow wise and grow tall
That the Growing Up Tree grew inside of them all.

The Growing Up Tree grows inside of you, too.
Make it bloom with the things that you learn and you do,
And, wonder of wonders, you soon will be grown
Like Judy and Julie and Janie and Joan.

Come along now with me.
A Girl Scout you'll be, and together we'll hunt for the Growing Up Tree.
