Girl Scout Week is a time when we shout our Girl Scout pride from the rooftops! It’s also a time when many troops celebrate the connections between Girl Scouting and their faith, learn more about other faiths and thank faith partners for their support throughout the year. Girls can join in the festivities on three specially designated dates (or a day of your choosing):
Girl Scout Sunday: Sunday, March 9, 2025
Girl Scout Jummah: Friday, March 14, 2025
Girl Scout Sabbath/Shabbat: Friday, March 14 – Saturday, March 15, 2025
Whether they participate in a worship service, plan an activity before or after the service or organize a service project, your girls can honor those meaningful connections in lots of ways! Check out these resources to help you plan, promote and carry out your event with your faith partner.
Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith Invitations and Flyers: You and your faith partners can also use our invitation graphics on social media and beyond to promote your event. Use our bulletin inserts or add your event details to these customizable fliers and ask your faith partner to share in their bulletin or newsletter.

Iron-On Embroidered Patches: Make your Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith event something your troop won’t forget—with a patch! Patches are available at your council store and include: Girl Scout Sunday, Girl Scout Jummah, Girl Scout Sabbath and Girl Scout Faith (for any faith celebration or faith event, including interfaith).
Here are some additional tips for planning your event.
- Work closely with your faith partner. Teaming up will help event planning and promotion go smoothly and deepen the connection between your troop and your faith partner.
- Start early. Houses of worship will appreciate the extra time to incorporate your event into their worship schedule!
- Include pre- and post-activities. Events before and after the worship service are a great way to share the benefits of Girl Scouting with faith families and give back to your faith partner. You might do a service project or host a cookie booth and/or cookies and punch reception after the service —check out the activities tip sheet for more ideas.
- Promote your event. Spread the word through social media and neighborhood channels. Ask your faith partner to promote the event in their newsletters or bulletins. And give your Girl Scout council a heads up too: they may amplify through their channels.
- Thank your faith partner after the event. Faith partners will appreciate a note of thanks after your event, especially one they can share with their community.
