The reason for any law is to further my well-being. The laws of God and the Church are signposts to eternal happiness; the laws of the state are signposts to temporal happiness; the Girl Scout Laws are rays of light shedding their luster through the corridors of time to the portal of eternity. The Girl Scout Laws are signposts showing me the true way of life.
1. A girl Scouts honor is to be trusted.
"We are ready to die rather than to transgress the laws of God, received from our fathers."
―2 Machabees 7:2
When a Girl Scout says a thing, she means it. She will not tell a lie which aims to deceive God, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. She will not tell a lie which aims to deceive her neighbor because her honor is to be trusted. The little children for whom she cares, the money, belongings, and most important, the reputations of others are safe with her.
"An honest man's the noblest work of God."
―Alexander Pope
