Religious Award
My Promise, My Faith Pin
Girls of all grade levels can now earn the My Promise, My Faith pin developed by Girl Scouts of the USA. This pin, which girls can earn once a year, complements existing religious recognitions and allows all girls to further strengthen the connection between their faith and Girl Scouts. A girl earns the My Promise, My Faith pin by carefully examining the Girl Scout Law and directly tying it to tenets of her faith. Requirements for this pin are included in The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting for all levels.

Girl Scouts, Spirituality, and Faith
The entire Girl Scout experience is based on the Girl Scout Promise
and Law, which include principles and values common to most
faiths.
Girl Scouts and faith-based communities share an
enduring tradition of Girl Scouting and spiritual expression that
spans our organization’s history.
Girl Scouts is also
proudly nonpartisan, secular, and inclusive.
In remaining
secular, our intent is not to minimize a girl’s religious experience;
to the contrary, Girl Scouts is a place where girls of all faiths can
honor their spirituality while at the same time embracing the
diversity of the Girl Scout Movement.
Membership
currently consists of 3 million girls and volunteers as well as over
59 million alumnae, includes women and girls of varied religious
traditions.
Girl Scouts has a rich history of partnership
and collaboration with faith-based communities which is highlighted by
the My Promise, My Faith pin, which complements existing religious
recognitions and allows all girls to further strengthen the connection
between their faith and Girl Scouts.
Faith-based awards
include religious recognitions as well as the My Promise, My Faith
pin.
Many faith-based communities offer programs, in
conjunction with Girl Scouts, which recognize local girl
members.
Adult volunteers from faith-based organizations
partner with girls by connecting the My Promise, My Faith pin to their
faith’s own religious recognitions, guiding girls through their
personal faith journey and helping them understand their faith
intellectually and spiritually.
When Girl Scout founder
Juliette Gordon Low first assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Ga., for
that first meeting on March 12, 1912, she believed all girls should be
given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally and
spiritually.
Today, Girl Scouts is for all girls from
kindergarten through high school.
Wherever girls live,
whatever their circumstances, Girl Scouts helps girls develop their
leadership potential, connect with others, and take action to make a
difference in the world.
Self-discovery and spiritual
expression were core values from the earliest days of Girl Scouting,
and these same values are a part of today’s Girl Scout Leadership
program, shaping girls into the future leaders of tomorrow.
