The Girl Scout Promise
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.
The Girl Scout Law
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.

| Goals
for the Girl Scout Movement 2003-2008
- Provide a cutting edge, and diversified Girl Scout Program that assures girls
develop values and skills that will last a lifetime.
- Be recognized as the leading expert on, and advocate for, girls.
- Create and deliver a Girl Scout experience that results in a 13%
membership share of the 5- to 17-year-old girl population (more than
500,000 or 18% girl member increase) while achieving a member population
more reflective of the demographics of the U.S.
- Create and deliver an adult Girl Scout experience that results in an increase
of adult Girl Scouts to achieve and
maintain a three-to-one ratio of girls to adult members, and develop ways
in which adults can have a life-long
affiliation with Girl Scouts.
- Implement innovative systems and strategies to attract, retain and
effectively utilize high caliber and diverse volunteers and staff leaders
at all levels that work synergistically to advance the Girl Scout Movement.
