Yet, there is no mention of God in the GS pledge. They dropped that years ago and embrace lesbianism and other liberal "causes".

from the official Girl Scout site: http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/promise_law/

The Girl Scout Promise DOES contain God, while the Law does not. As for the liberal causes, well, yeah. But there are strong pockets of resistance to that within the organization. As a former staff member of our local Council, I can personally vouch for the resistance!

Girl Scout Promise and Law

The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people, and the Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world.

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.

* The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.
