A sad piece of news from the Independent.
Instead the Guide will promise
It sounds like a parody, perhaps written by Evelyn Waugh. Who are these anti-monarchy campaigners?
For decades, Brownies and Girl Guides have promised to “love my God,” and “serve the Queen and my country”. But now, in a triumph for secularists, the organisation has decided to drop references to the deity – and the nation – from the oath taken by members.
Instead the Guide will promise
to be true to myself and develop my beliefs.
What a narcissistic, pagan and empty promise and how appropriate for the age. What tedious young women these new guides threaten to grow into. I also discover that bob-a-job was abolished twenty years ago, but that was boy scouts.
"However, the Guides decided to retain the pledge to serve their patron Queen Elizabeth II in the Promise. Anti-monarchy campaigners told The Independent that the organisation had “missed” an “opportunity” to truly open up the organisation."

We live in a world of fools.
