Girl Scout Registration 2012-2013
Registration is for the 2013 Girl Scout year which is between April 7, 2012 and September 29, 2012.
Since the 2011-2012 Girl Scout year ends on September 30, 2012, leaders will not be able to re-register girls or adults after September 29, 2012. Any individual that is not re-registered for 2012-2013 by this date is no longer a registered Girl Scout. Starting on October 1, 2012, girls and adults who have previously been registered with the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital will need to complete their own re-registration online by following the steps below. This applies to all individuals regardless of when their membership lapsed.
The following steps are to be completed by parents, not by Leaders:
New Members:
- Girls or adults new to Girl Scouting, never before registered
- Complete the online registration process, pay the $12.00 membership fee
- Paying the $12.00 fee does not guarantee troop placement at the time of purchase
- Want to join a troop, click to access the the Find a Troop form
- Girls registered as individuals can participate in age appropriate sponsored program events

The Girl Scout
Promise:
The
Girl Promise
On my honor, I will try
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
|
Please note: In the Girl Scout Promise, the
word "God" is subject to each individual's interpretation and may be substituted with
whatever word or phrase the Girl Scout's spiritual beliefs dictate.
The Girl Scout Laws:
The Girl
Scout Law
I will do my best to
be
Honest and fair,
Friendly and helpful,
Considerate and caring,
Courageous and strong, and
Responsible for what I say and do,
And to
Respect myself and others,
Respect authority,
Use resources wisely,
Make the world a better place, and
Be a sister to every Girl Scout
|
The Girl Scout Hand Sign:
|
The Girl Scout Sign is made by raising three
fingers of the right hand (thumb hold down pinky). This sign stands for the
three parts of the Promise. You give the sign when:
- You say the Promise.
- You are welcomed into Girl Scouting at an
investiture ceremony.
- You receive a patch or badge.
- You greet other Girl Scouts and Girl Guides.
|
The Girl Scout Handshake
|
This is a formal way of greeting other Girl
Scouts and Girl Guides. You shake hands with the left hand and give the Girl
Scout sign with your right hand.
The left handed handshake represents friendship
because the left hand is closer to the heart than the right.
|
The Girl Scout Motto:
The Girl Scout Slogan:
The Quiet Sign
|
The quiet sign is used in meetings and other
gatherings to let people know it is time to stop talking. This sign is made by
raising your hand high. As people in the group see the quiet sign, they
stop talking and also raise their hands. Once everyone is silent, the meeting
continues. |
The Friendship Circle
The
friendship circle is often formed at the end of meetings or campfires as a sort of
closing ceremony. Everyone gathers in a circle where they cross their right arm
over their left in front of them and hold hands with the people on either side.
Once everyone is silent, the leader starts the friendship squeeze which is
passed from hand to hand.
The friendship squeeze is started by an agreed
upon leader. She squeezes the hand on the girl next to her (either to the left or
the right, but only one way) and moves her right foot forward (i.e. towards
the center of the circle). The girl who receives the squeeze moves her right foot forward
and passes the squeeze on to the next girl. When the squeeze comes back to the
first person everyone raises their arms - while still holding hands and turns under
their right arm. If this is done correctly, everyone is now facing outward. They
release hands and walk away, signaling that the ceremony or meeting is over.
