The “World Song,” which highlights the principles and spirit of the Girl Scout and Girl Guide Movement, was adopted in 1950 at the 13th World Conference in Oxford, England. The music, originally composed as the march for one of Finland's oldest Scout companies, was adapted with the approval of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The World Song was originally written in French, and was first published with English words in 1952, by Gavin Ewart.
