Catholic Recognition Awards

Girl Scouts can grow stronger in their Catholic faith by completing awards specifically created by their national faith group. These awards are developed and implemented by parents, troop leaders, faith members, and clergy at their place of worship.

Once awards have been completed, submit for approval on the Catholic Religious Recognitions Form.

God is Love

The God Is Love program for grades K–1 helps children discover that God created, cares for, and loves them—and invites them to share that love with others.

Mary, the First Disciple

The Mary, the First Disciple program for grades 6–8 helps girls meet Mary in Scripture, follow her journey, and grow in faith as they discover more about her and themselves.

Family of God

The Family of God program for grades 2–3 helps children discover God’s presence in daily life and give thanks for the blessings of family and parish.

The I Live My Faith program for grades 4–5 helps children explore belief, sacraments, Christian living, and prayer as they grow in faith and understanding.
