Active in Your Faith Community?
Earn Your Religious Award!

All Girl Scouts promise “to serve God.” One way for girls to keep that promise is to earn the religious award for their faith and to proudly wear that award on their uniform.

The religious awards are created by the national religious organizations, not by the Girl Scouts. When a girl participates in a religious awards program, she uses the curriculum created by her own faith community and receives instruction from her parents and religious leaders, not from her Girl Scout leader. But since Girl Scouting encourages girls to become stronger members of their faith community, the religious awards may be worn on the Girl Scout uniform.

Adults may also be recognized for their leadership in their faith communities. Adults who give service to both Girl Scouting and their religious community may be nominated to receive an Adult Religious Recognition.

Information on the religious awards programs may be found on the “Just 4 Girls” page at http://jfg.girlscouts.org/GS/insignia/InsigniaIndex.htm#other or www.praypub.org.
