Song: For This Is British Columbia
From the grandeur of the Rockies to the green Vancouver Isle,
We're proud of our Province, ev'ry inch and ev'ry mile.
Her rolling hills and jagged peaks, and rivers running free.
A gift of Mother Nature for one and all to see.
Chorus
For this is British Columbia
We've got so much if we can only see.
A land that is still young with a future just begun
Where we can live in peace and harmony.
You can walk along a sandy beach and hear the seagulls cry
Or marvel at the Douglas Fir that reaches to the sky,
You can travel to the cariboo where horse and cattle roam,
Or stand beside the Fraser as her mighty waters foam.
Chorus
Since the frontiers of the goldrush days, we've come a long, long way,
From the pioneers who blazed the sites on which we stand today,
With their newfound hope they travelled here from places far and wide,
Fo freedom and great splendour which to noone is denied.
Chorus

Song: Guiding Law Song
I challenge myself with the Guiding Law:
To be honest and true;
To be wise in the use of resources I have;
To respect myself and others, too;
To know and to use my gifts and skills;
To protect our common world;
Live with courage and strength;
and to share in the joys of the Guiding sisterhood!

Song: An Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again some day,
May God hold you in the palm of God's hand.
May the memories that we have shared
Linger on and on.

Song: I Like the Flowers
I like the flowers,
I love the daffodils,
I like the mountains,
I love the rolling hills,
I like the fireside
When all the lights are low;
Boom-ti-ar-a, Boom-ti-ar-a, Boom-ti-ar-a, Boom.

Song: Listen to the Earth
Listen to the Earth;
It's singing to me.
Hear all nature's harmony.
Waterfalls and raindrops,
Wind and sea.
Sing the song of the Earth to me.
