 Family of God
(For Girls Ages 7-9)
Religious Recognition #1, the Family of God Program, is the official
religious recognition program of the Roman Catholic Church for children
ages 7-9 who are enrolled in the Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Boys and Girls,
and other Catholic youth organizations. The Family of God Program is a
bilingual activity series developed to complement the catechetical efforts
of the parish and families with children in the second and third grades.
Revised and transliterated into Spanish in July 2004, the program helps
children discover the presence of God in their daily lives as members of
their family and parish. The six chapters are titled: I Am Special to My
Family, I Am Special to God’s Family, I Belong to My Family, I Belong to
God’s Family, I Can Help My Family, I Can Help God’s Family.
 I Live My
Faith (For Girls Ages 9-11)
Religious Recognition #2, the I Live My Faith Program, is designed to
help Girl Scouts and Camp Fire members, ages 9-11, appreciate more deeply
the place that God and religion occupy in their daily life. The
action-oriented activities focus on developing awareness within the
individual of his/her potential as a growing person, friend, family
member, citizen, and a participant in the community of faith. The program
is divided into three chapters, “Stretching,” “Seeking,” and “Finding,”
each of which blends the dimensions of discovery, prayer, service, and
sacrament into a unified whole. The I Live My Faith Program complements
and supports the more formal religious education provided in Catholic
schools and parish programs.
 Mary, the
First Disciple (For Girls Ages 12-14)
"My being
proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my
Savior... " (Luke 1:46-47)
Religious Recognition #3, The Marian
Medal, is designed for young Catholics in Girl Scouts and Camp Fire, ages
12-14, to enable them to “proclaim the greatness of the Lord.” This is
accomplished by actively involving the participants in an understanding of
Mary as a model of openness and spirituality—a woman of the church.
Through various projects, discussions, and liturgical celebrations over a
period of months, the participants are provided with a unique opportunity
to develop new insights into their personalities, friends, parents, and
the world around them.
 Spirit
Alive (For Girls Ages 14-16)
Religious Recognition #4, The Spirit Alive Program, is designed for
Catholic youth in high school who are in the Senior level of Girl Scouts
or Horizon Club members of Camp Fire Boys and Girls. It assists them in d
discovering how the Holy Spirit moves in their lives, calling them to
greater participation in the church’s ministry. The program addresses
these topics: The Holy Spirit Alive in Scripture, The Holy Spirit Alive in
the Catholic Church, The Holy Spirit Alive in Prayer, and The Holy Spirit
Alive in Your Life. Activities are an integral part of The Spirit Alive
Program process. Because different people have different learning styles,
there are four categories of activities to choose from for chapters 1-3:
written, artistic, interactive, and digital. The activity in Chapter 4 is
the service component of the process.
