Remove from the Guiding Promise any reference to God

Remove from the Guiding Promise any reference to God

The Issue

An inclusive society is one in which access to positions of responsibility or top awards should not be barred from those who don't have a faith and consequently can't make a promise to God.

By taking this step, Girlguiding will be seen as a progressive, egalitarian and meritocratic organisation and will do much to enhance its standing and reputation.

Both those with a faith and those living free of supernatural or mystical beliefs should see this as an important move and thus support this petition.

See the article in The Telegraph with the announcement that Girlguiding UK is to consider dropping the religious element of the 'Promise' made by its 600,000 members.
