A message from the Chief Commissioner on our new Promise & Law

All members over the age of around 7 are expected to make their Promise. Girls younger than this are considered to little to fully understand what they are promising.

We say our Promise each week at Guides to help the girls remember it. Guides salute with three fingers and this represents the three-fold promise we make. Our symbol is a trefoil which also represents the three-fold promise.

The three parts of the Promise:

1. Acceptence of something greater than the everyday (true to self & developm my beliefs - duty to God in the old words)

2. Service to community and country

3. Acceptance of the Guide law
