Guiding Promise, Law & Motto

The Guiding Promise, Law & Motto are important for every new member of Guiding to learn. These words become so much more than just words as youth and adult members learn through our meetings, camps, community service, and other memories how to embody the values instilled in us by Guiding. We learn to do our best in everything that we do, even if that means taking small risks and learning through failure. Our sisters in Guiding accept us for the diverse and beautiful girls and women that we are, so that we can be true to our authentic selves and learn to love ourselves. We become fiercely loyal to our friends, family, unit and country, and show our pride by wearing our uniform in our communities, and the Canadian flag around the world. We pledge to take action for a better world and do so through our service work and small acts of kindness toward one another. We respect the Guiding Law and use it to remind ourselves of how to act toward ourselves, each other and our world. And we always strive to “Be Prepared!”

Here is a full meeting plan for Guides (although this could also be used and adapted for other branches) that teaches girls about the Promise, Law and Motto and gets them thinking about how these are applicable in their daily lives:
