The Telegraph interviewed Gill Slocombe, the woman who heads the Girl Guides.  When asked what being true to themselves really meant, Slocombe explained:

It’s a moral compass

When asked what this means in the absence of external morality, Slocombe rationalized:

There is a sense in which you could say, ‘Well, to be true to myself I’m going to go and rob a post office’, but it has to be read in conjunction with the context of what we’re doing: the rest of the Promise and the Guide laws, which clearly do not say it’s OK to rob a post office.

But when pressed for what the rest of the Promise and Guide laws say, Slocombe replied:

Please don’t ask me what they are, because I can’t recite them to you
