Girl Scout Promise & Law

The values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law are at the heart of the entire Girl Scout program. Through the values inherent in the Promise & Law, girls form their own beliefs and values, learn to consider ethical aspects of situations, and are committed to social justice and community service and action. 

Girl Scout Promise and Law

The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people, and the Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world.

The 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 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 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 program can change the way girls see the world and their place in it.  Girls learn the importance of personal responsibility, the value of goal-setting, the spirit of teamwork, and the thrill of accomplishment.  The Girl Scout program is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law and four fundamental goals that encourage girls to:

  • Develop to their full potential
  • Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill and respect
  • Develop a meaningful set of values to guide their actions and to provide for sound decision-making
  • Contribute to the improvement of society
