Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
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.
The Girl Scout Promise:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all time,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
Girl Scout Constitution:
We, the members of Girl Scouts of the United States of America, united by a belief in God, hold that the Girl Scout Promise and Law is the cornerstone of our Movement, and inspired by the Founder of the Girl Scout Movement in the United States, Juliette Low, and by the aims of the Founder of the Scout Movement, Lord Baden-Powell, attest to the following:
Mission - Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Spiritual Force - The motivating force in Girl Scouting is spiritual. The ways in which members identify and fulfill their spiritual beliefs are personal and private.
Open Membership - The Girl Scout Movement is open to all girls and adults who accept the Girl Scout Promise and Law and meet membership requirements.
Patriotism, Citizenship, and Community Service - Local, national, and global service and action are core elements of the Girl Scout experience.
Diversity and Pluralism - Girls Scouts advance diversity and pluralism in our Movement and in the communities in which we live.
Responsibility for the Movement and the Democratic Process - The ultimate responsibility for the Girl Scout Movement rests with its members. We govern by an efficient and effective democratic process that demonstrates our leadership in a fast-changing world.
Girl/Adult Partnership - Adults partner with girls to guide and inspire growth and achievement. Volunteers are essential to the strength and capacity of our Movement.
World Association of Girl Guides and Girls Scouts (WAGGGS) - We are active partners in a worldwide sisterhood through our affiliation with WAGGGS. We work with WAGGGS to address the needs of girls and to build a network of global citizens.
Community Partners - We take an active leadership role and are collaborative partners in the community.
Voice - We are a premier voice for girls and an expert on their growth and development.
