Girl Scout Promise Girl Scout Law 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.
Dear Friends,
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.
On behalf of the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay, I am pleased to welcome you to the inaugural On My Honor: A Celebration of Achievement. 2012 has been designated as The Year of the Girl in honor of Girl Scouts’ 100th Anniversary. The girls receiving awards today exemplify what The Year of the Girl is all about -- girls reaching their highest potential. These girls represent the best in Girl Scouting. Projects for the Girl Scout Bronze Award by Girl Scout Juniors may focus on service in support of the Girl Scout movement, while projects for the Girl Scout Silver Award and Girl Scout Gold Award are expected to reach beyond Girl Scouting to “make the world a better place.” The award progression offers our younger girls the opportunity to develop their planning and leadership skills within the comfort and familiarity of Girl Scouting if they so choose. As they mature within Girl Scouting, our Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors are ready to move beyond the Girl Scout family to share their leadership skills with the wider community. It is in fully exploring their communities that our older girls exemplify the Girl Scout mission to “Build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.” Today is also an opportunity to congratulate girls with 10 years of membership for their long-term dedication to Girl Scouting, as well as to recognize our graduating high school seniors as they complete their years as a girl in Girl Scouting. We wish them much success in the future and hope they continue to stay involved – as troop leaders, volunteers, alumnae and lifetime members of Girl Scouting. To the parents, families, friends and supporters in attendance today – we thank you for the support and love you have given these girls to help them achieve these honors. Yours in Girl Scouting,
