Our Mission
"Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place."
(new mission implemented at the National Convention, October 2005)
Girl Scouting is a values-based organization, not a religious one. The Girl Scout Promise and Law are its guiding principles.
The Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To
serve God and my country,
To help people at
all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.
The Law
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly
and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for
what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use
resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl
Scout.
