Family of God
Family of God is the official religious recognition program of the Roman Catholic Church for children in 1st and 2nd Grade Brownies who are enrolled in the Girl Scout organizations. Family of God is a bilingual activity series developed to complement the catechetical efforts of the parish and families with children in the second and third grades. Revised and transliterated into Spanish in July 2004, the program helps children discover the presence of God in their daily lives as members of their family and parish.
The six chapters are titled: I Am Special to My Family; I Am Special to God’s Family; I Belong to My Family; I Belong to God’s Family; I Can Help My Family; I Can Help God’s Family

The I Live My Faith program is designed to Junior Girl Scout members to appreciate more deeply the place that God and religion occupy in their daily life. The action-oriented activities focus on developing awareness within the individual of his/her potential as a growing person, friend, family member, citizen, and a participant in the community of faith. The program is divided into three chapters, “Stretching,” “Seeking,” and “Finding,” each of which blends the dimensions of discovery, prayer, service, and sacrament into a unified whole. I Live My Faith complements and supports the more formal religious education provided in Catholic schools and parish programs.

Mary, the First Disciple project book, medal and patch
“My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my Savior ... ” (Luke 1:46-47)

The Marian Medal program is written for Cadet and Girl Scouts to enable them to “proclaim the greatness of the Lord.” This is accomplished by actively involving the participants in an understanding of Mary as a model of openness and spirituality—a woman of the church. Through various projects, discussions, and liturgical celebrations over a period of months, the participants are provided with a unique opportunity to develop new insights into their personalities, friends, parents, and the world around them.
