Girlguiding UK removes God from promise


Girlguiding UK will no longer ask new members to make a pledge to love God and serve their country.

From 1 September, the words "to love my God" will be replaced in the Promise by "to be true to myself and develop my beliefs".

The words "to serve the Queen and my community" will replace "to serve the Queen and my country".
