P.R.A.Y. Promotion Patch (Religious Award)

All Girl Scouts

This is a four-segment puzzle patch. Only one segment will be offered in any given year.
Participants are encouraged to earn all four segments over a four-year span.

Through Girl Scouting, each girl is encouraged to become a stronger member of her own religious group, and every Girl Scout group recognizes that religious instruction is the responsibility of the parents and religious leaders. Religious recognitions programs are always developed and administered by the religious groups themselves. If they wish to provide a pin, the recipient may wear it on her uniform, either on her badge sash below the membership stars, or on the right side of her uniform, level with her membership pin.

Because the Girl Scout organization recognizes that it has no authority to decide whether or not a girl has reached a certain level of spiritual development, the Girl Scout organization does not grant permission to use the Girl Scout insignia and name on a religious recognition provided by a religious group.

How to Get Started:

Girls must obtain the specific booklet for her religion.
Contact P.R.A.Y. for further information at: www.praypub.org or

Parents should review the guidelines.
Families should talk to their religious leaders and if possible show them the booklet before starting the program.
Girls must complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the recognition or pin.
