TROOP 1865 HONORS DAD'S BY MAKING THEM GREEN KNIGHTS

Troop 1865 decided to do something special for all the dad's that help out the troop in one way or another.  They decided to have a special knighting ceremony for all the dad's.  It was a fun way to say "Thank You."

Order of the Great Green Knight The Order of the Green Knight His suits aren't made of armored steel They're cotton, silk or tweed. He makes his charge with a a credit card Not on a snow white steed. His lance is just a ball point pen, No heralds cry his might. And yet this Girl Scout dad is A modern day great Knight. He aids young damsels in distress, A helping hand he lends He's asked to do a hundred things For his daughters and her friends. He loads his car, unloads his car, Drives all around the town Plays errand boy and baby nurse, Builds things and tears them down. At busy times, he does not dine Just eats TV dinners The tied up phone is not his own-- In patience he is a winner. This father gives his time, And though he might complain That is he is being pushed around, He loves it just the same. So, Girl Scouts raise the symbolic sword, With tough both deft and light, Tap all these faithful shoulders and Dub this man "Green Knight".
