The Girl Scout Promise and Law

Girl Scouting is a values-based organization, not a religious one. The Girl Scout Promise and Law are its guiding principles.

Girl Scout 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 Girl Scout 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.

La Promesa de las Girl Scouts
Por mi honor, yo trataré:
De servir a Dios* y a mi patria,
ayudar a las personas en todo momento,
 y vivir conforme a la Ley de las Girl Scouts.

* La palabra "Dios" puede ser interpretada de varias maneras, dependiendo de las creencias espirituales de cada uno. Cuando recitas la Promesa de las Girl Scouts, si prefieres, puedes sustituir la palabra "Dios" por otra palabra más acorde con tus creencias espirituales.

La Ley de las Girl Scouts
Yo me esforzaré a:
     Ser honrada y justa
     cordial y servicial,
     considerada y compasiva,
     valiente y fuerte, y
     responsable de lo que digo y hago,
y a
     respetarme a mí misma y a los demás
     respetar la autoridad
     usar los recursos de manera prudente,
     hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, y
     ser hermana de cada una de las Girl Scouts.
