Faith Awards
My Promise, My Faith is a national Girl Scout faith based award. Information about this award may be found in The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting. P.R.A.Y. award programs encourage girls to become more active in their own religion, and develop spiritually by providing specific instruction. Awards are available for most ages and religions.

Presidential Volunteer Service Award
The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation recognizes the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities. Girl Scouts of Connecticut is an authorizing agency for these awards and our application can be found in the Resource and Form Library at gsofct.org. The number of volunteer hours required for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold level of this award varies according to age. Please see the application for more information. Award packets containing a pin and certificate are $10 each. In order to save on shipping and handling costs, GSOFCT places three orders per year: October 15, January 15, and April 15. Please be sure that all hours included on the application are actually volunteering to help others of your free will. For example: We do not accept hours visiting sites to learn more about a topic, hours driving to a site to volunteer, mandated volunteer hours, etc. For more information, contact program@gsofct.org.
