Council-wide Service Projects

Giving back to the community is at the core of Girl Scouts. Troops, families, and other Girl Scout members are invited to participate. This year, we are partnering with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Rainbow Rooms to collect  toiletries and hygiene products to support kids in foster care (March 1-31).  Watch the video to learn more about the TDFPS Rainbow Rooms.

Girl Scout Week Faith-Based Initiatives

Girl Scout Week begins with Girl Scout Sunday on March 8 and ends with observance of Girl Scout Jummah on Friday, March 13, and Girl Scout Sabbath on Saturday, March 14. Troops and families can explore faith and spirituality through the  My Promise, My Faith  girl recognition or by completing their faith's religious recognition offered by P.R.A.Y. Publishing.   

  •  My Promise, My Faith is the first GSUSA religious award, and the requirements are simple and appropriate for any faith. Every level of Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting has the requirements for earning this award.
  • The GSSJC Faith-Based Initiatives Committee will host a My Promise, My Faith pin workshop for girls of all program levels interested in earning the pin on Saturday, April 11, 10 a.m.-noon at Program Place for Girls. Space is limited, so register today!
  • P.R.A.Y. awards and four-part “To Serve God” patch: Each denomination or religious organization develops and administers its own program. GSUSA has approved these programs and allows the recognition of  insignia to be worn on official uniforms.
