The Rangers describes a range of opportunities and roles available to members between the ages of 14-18. This includes: 

SS1

Rangers – this is a group of young women who come together to take part in a programme of activities planned by themselves.

County Ranger Unit –  for any member in the county who is aged between 14-18. contact rangers@ggme.co.uk

Young Leaders – these are members aged 14-18 who volunteer to help with younger sections (Rainbows, Brownies and Guides). They work towards either the Young Leader or Adult Leader qualifications depending on their age. The Girlguiding UK website has more details for the Young Leader Qualification.

Adult leaders – at 18 members can become adult leaders, however this does not prevent them from continuing to access certain elements of the senior section programme including awards until they turn 26. The Girlguiding UK website has more details for the Leadership Qualification.

The senior section programme is based around octants and encourages the girls to take part in taster sessions, develop skills over a slightly longer period of time and gain qualifications too. The Girlguiding UK website has more details for Senior Section.

MIddlesex East has a number of Senior Section units in the county. Please contact

rangers@ggme.co.uk for a unit close to you!
