Description

Renew your Promise and your commitment to building peace and shaping a positive future.
As Girl Guides and Girl Scouts we share a set of unique values that help us to live with purpose to make the world a better place. The Promise, although it differs for every country, has three main parts:
By keeping our Promise, we help to shape a positive future where everyone can thrive. By keeping our promise alive every day, we make a commitment as peacebuilders.
End your World Thinking Day activities by holding a Promise ceremony

Resources

Paper, scissors, glue or tape, markers or pens.

If doing the activity with the younger age group you may choose to pre-cut the paper. This activity works best if the group is in a circle or horseshoe formation.

Instructions

1. Cut your paper into strips.

2. On one strip of paper write an act of peace (a good turn) that will help to build peace.

3. Read aloud:
If we all took steps together towards a more peaceful world and did a good turn every day that would be ten million acts of peace each day and three billion, six hundred and fifty million acts of peace each year!

4. One person says their Girl Guide/Girl Scout Promise aloud

5. Look at one or more Girl Guide/Girl Scout promises from another country. Ask your group members to discuss how it is different, and how it is the same, to their own promise.

6. Share the act of peace written on the strip of paper with your group or the person standing next to you.

7. As you share an idea, make a loop with your strip, connecting it to another loop to form a chain.

8. Continue adding to the chain until all the ideas are connected to form one long peace chain.

9. Ask your group if they are ready to re-make their promise and commit to living by it as a way to build peace in their communities and the world. Re-make your promise together.

10. Let’s reflect:
• The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts represent over ten million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. What other countries can you think of that might have Girl Guides and Girl Scouts?
• What do you think life for a girl like you in that country might be like?
• Do you really know? How could you find out?
