The Telegraph and Daily Mail are predictably up in arms about this great news (something I have reported before). The BBC reports:

Girls will no longer have to pledge their devotion to God when they join the Guides and Brownies in the UK.

It comes after a consultation found a new Girlguiding UK promise was needed to include “more explicitly” the non-religious and those of other faiths.

They currently vow to “to love my God, to serve my Queen and my country”.
