The cheer leader says:
That deserves a Bravo ! We'll do this in a circle."
She then proceeds to
have one end of the circle start with the 'BRR' sound and proceeds to point around the circle while they do the 'AVOOOO' sound.
The sound level should rise as more of the circle comes in.
The cheer leader says:
"That deserves a real cheer. Give me a 'B'
(and the group responds with
a resounding 'B',)
give me an 'R', etc. When all letters have been called,
"What have you got?" (Response of all: BRAVO!)
Bravo,
Bravo, Bravo,
Bravissimo
Bravo,
Bravo, Bravo,
Very
well done indeed!

“GREAT”
Start at one corner of the campfire circle and go around the circle getting louder
till you say GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT! (Loud and fast).
Say the first four lines of this yell as quickly as you can. The “Miai-aow”
gives an excellent chance for a lot of noise and a terrible face.
Hi Fum Diddle Hi
Ho Fol Lol
Tiddle Bats Catscall
Fol De Rol Lol
Miai-aow!
This is an Italian yell like our Hip! Hip! Hooray!
Hola! Hola! Hola!
Viva!
Hola! Hola! Hola!
Viva!
Hola! Hola! Hola!
Hola is ho-lah, Viva is Vee-vah. All words short and sharp.
For this chant, have the girls kneel with their arms around each other’s’
shoulders, so they can all bend forward each time they say, “whoop.”
Way down south not very far off
A jaybird died of the whooping cough
He whooped so hard with the whooping cough
That he whooped his head and his tail right
off!
La la la la la la la la la

Divide the group in two. The first half will say “Ogi,” the other
half will say “Oi.”

Group all chant together:
Tip it in, tip it in, tip it in,
Tip it in, tip it in, tip it in,
Vinegar, spice, flour
of wheat.
Cauliflower, onion, gherkin beet,
They’re all tipped in an when they meet,
Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!
You clap your hands while holding your arms straight and moving your hands
around in a wide circular motion.
I
Is it carrots? - NO!
Is it peas? - NO!
Is it beef? - NO!
Is it stew? - YES!
STUPENDOUS!
A way of expressing thanks is to spell our “Thank-you” first, then
whisper it, then yell it.
T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U
Thank-You
THANKYOU!
A group often has their own special clap, used
to recognize a good effort. The leader usually starts the clap which can be almost any series of claps. A simple one is: 1-2-3-4,
1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3-4, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1.
The last clap is loud and when done together,
most effective.
Thunder, thunder, thunderation
We're the Girl Guides Association
When we sing with determination
We create a sensation!
Repeat
louder, etc.
When you point to one half of the group, they yell, CHIP!
When you point
to the other half, they yell, CHOP!
Then alternate CHIP! CHOP! CHIP! CHOP! Faster and faster, ending with a loud "TIMBER!"
A
chant for the whole group, this is a good one to use at the final campfire to thank the camp cook.
Coffee coffee (4 times slowly)
Cheese
and biscuits (4 times a bit faster)
Fruit
and custard (4 times getting faster)
Beef
and carrots (6 times faster still)
Fish
and chips (8 times very fast)
Soo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oup!
(one lonely whistle)
