The Intruders - I'm Girl Scoutin'

Year Released: 1970
Genre: Soul / Funk / Philadelphia Soul
Label: Gamble/Huff (Philadelphia International system)

Description:
“I’m Girl Scoutin’” arrives as a lesser‑known but deeply engaging entry from The Intruders, a seminal Philadelphia soul vocal group. With smooth harmonies, understated yet insistent bass and rhythm, and a subtly funky groove, the track sits at the intersection of upbeat soul and early funk‑inflected R&B. The crisp production, characteristic of the Philadelphia sound emerging at the time, allows the group’s vocals to remain front and centre while the rhythm section groove quietly fuels the track. Though it peaked modestly (reaching around #88 on the U.S. Hot 100) it remains an appreciated cut among soul collectors and DJs.

Legacy & Collector Appeal:
While not among The Intruders’ biggest hits, “I’m Girl Scoutin’” appeals to fans of early funk‑soul crossover records — those that bridge tidy soul vocals and harder‑grooved instrumentation. It remains a reliable deep cut for DJs chasing the Philadelphia soul groove beyond the big hits.
