Its sloping roof and wide s hall shelter us without a care,
And each Girl Scout and Guide Shall find a welcome there.

2nd Verse
High up, high on the mountain, We’ll go to our our chalet
High up, high on the mountain, We’ll go to our our chalet
Our simple life is free, Our hearts are light, our songs are gay
We ever shall remember the joys of our Chalet.

3rd Verse
High up, high on the mountain, We’ve founded our chalet
High up, high on the mountain, We’ve founded our chalet
And this its dedication shall never fail nor be undone:
Each race, each creed, each nation, beneath its roof are one.

Autour de l’atre gris, Ou’ le feu clair pe’tille et rit,
Nous nous sentons unies et fortes par l’esprit
