Guides - A Small Victory.

Girl Guide group wins fight to keep "God" in promise

A Girl Guides unit, which was threatened with expulsion for refusing to remove "God" from its promise, have won its battle to remain in the Guiding Association.

Last year, the 37th Newcastle Guide Unit, which meets at Jesmond Parish Church, was told by Girl Guiding UK that its membership would be withdrawn if it refuse to adopt the new secular oath.

But the threat of expulsion has now been lifted and discussions are underway with the group about a new way forward. Christian Concern.
