Promise

Law

As a Girl Guide you are a member of Girlguiding UK, the largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women in this country. It has over 600,000 members.

There are similar organisations throughout the world and Girlguiding UK is a founding member of the world association 'WAGGGS' that unites them.

Guides are asked to commit to the values of the law and promise before being enrolled as part of the Unit
 

Guides make this simple Promise that they share with members around the world.

I promise that I will do my best:

To love my God,

To serve the Queen and my country,

To help other people

and 

To keep the Guide Law.

  1. A Guide is honest, reliable and can be trusted

  2. A Guide is helpful and uses her abilities wisely

  3. A Guide faces challenges and learns from her experiences

  4. A Guide is a good friend and sister to all Guides

  5. A Guide is polite and considerate

  6. A Guide respects all living things and takes care of the world around her

 

  To love my God -
Where in a religion, God has a name which is more commonly used , that name may be substituted;  in order to  make the Promise more meaningful to every girl and woman.

In such cases the Guider will discuss the meaning of the Promise with the girl and person with parental responsibility for her.
