What is this group?
Rangers follow our programme. In unit meetings, you’ll do fun activities, play games and earn skills builder badges, all while being supported by our trained volunteers.
You could get skills builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. And if you want to take guiding home, there’s lots of interest badges to do in between unit meetings, like the protesting badge, animation badge and travel badge.
Discover all the badges Rangers can earn.
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.
