Rangers is your space. It’s regular meetings with your local group, trips at home and abroad, making a difference to the things you care about. It’s an open and relaxed space to talk with good friends – it’s qualifications, and badges and awards. It’s the freedom to be more independent, and to do what makes you happy.
As a Ranger you follow a special programme with fun activities, games and badges. During your time at Guides, you will progress through 6 themes and awards. These are consistent from Rainbows, through Brownies and Guides, to Rangers, featuring a wealth of varied activities and subjects.
There are Skills Builder badges, with subjects such as camping, communication and first aid, earned during unit meetings.
Interest badges, including Animation, Blogging, Bushcraft, , Digital design, Entrepreneur, Festival goer, and Travel can be earned at home.
Badges and activities
Rangers can also help you learn lots of new skills, add to your CV, build your confidence and change the lives of girls across the UK and the world.
You could become a young leader with a local unit and inspire our younger sections, train to be a peer educator and give girls a space to talk about what’s important to them, do your Lead Away permit, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and, from 16, your Queen’s Guide award. How about becoming a member of Amplify, who help staff and senior volunteers make decisions about the future of Girlguiding, or perhaps become an advocate and talk to MPs and other politicians – be a spokesperson for Girlguiding and speak at events.
We encourage members to wear a uniform to show they’re part of the Girlguiding family – you can wear a Ranger top.
Badges can be attached to your uniform – the promise badge, which you’ll get after making your Ranger promise, should be worn on the left hand side, or can be worn on a badge tab, and every other badge can be attached where you choose.
After Rangers, you’ll become an adult member and part of our community of women having adventures, gaining skills and making memories to last a lifetime. Find out more about what 18-30-year-olds can do in Girlguiding.
