GS USA MY PROMISE, MY FAITH Award
Everything in Girl Scouting is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law. The Girl Scout Law includes many of the principles and
values common to most faiths. Thus, while a secular organization, Girl Scouts has, since the movement began, encouraged girls to
take spiritual journeys via their faiths' religious recognitions.
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, see
a summary in this document.
