The Girlguiding movement has released a statement maintaining its commitment to having “one Promise for all”, but said that new Girl Guides with a faith would be able to say the new secular promise with the addition of the phrase “In the presence of God I make my Guide promise”.
Last year, Girlguiding UK decided to replace the pledge “to do my best and to love God”, which had been in the promise since the organisation was set up over a hundred years ago with an entirely secular promise. . . .
However, Girlguiding added: “To be clear, this is not an alternative Promise or additional line within the Promise. Rather it is a distinct personal statement, separate to our Promise. This approach maintains one Promise for all within Girlguiding.”
In other words, the organization wholly disavows God.
