Girl Scout Religious Awards

I am starting to send out information for Girl Scout religious awards, this Tuesday.  This will be a  parent and church led program.  However, I will be happy to help you order books and purchase the awards once your program has been completed.

Also, this is available to Brownies, there is not a religious award for the Daisy age group.

Here is what the NEKS & NWMO site says about these awards:

Religious Recognitions
Religious recognitions are created by national religious organizations/committees to encourage the spiritual growth of their youth members and reinforce many of the values integral to Girl Scouting. While My Promise, My Faith helps girls connect Girl Scouting with their faith, the religious recognitions programs help girls grow stronger in and learn more specifically about their faith.

Each religious organization/committee develops and administers its own program. The To Serve God religious recognitions brochure shows the religious recognitions that have been created by various faith groups. You can find this brochure, a video that explains the religious recognitions programs, and other resources for collaborating with the faith community at P.R.A.Y. Publishing
Some religious organizations are not affiliated with P.R.A.Y. or may not have a national office; to learn about their religious recognitions, contact their local leaders


I will be sending out a copy of this chart, which shows the religious groups that offer awards, as well as a picture of all of the awards offered.
Here is a link for that as well:

At the Family Picnic, I will offer more detailed information for the Protestant and Catholic awards.
