Girl Scouts have many opportunities to grow in their respective religious faith, including religious recognitions that are facilitated at an individual or troop level through a faith community. Each girl is encouraged to develop her own strong values within the context of family, faith, and the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
GSSEM encourages girls to work with their parents and religious leaders to earn their religious awards if they choose to do so. Girl Scouts recognize that religious instruction is the responsibility of parents and religious leaders.
The motivating force in Girl Scouting is spiritual. The ways in which members identify and fulfill their spiritual beliefs are personal and private.
