Girlguiding is for girls of various ages and consists of Rainbows (5-7), Brownies (7-10), Guides (10-14) or Rangers (14-18).
Guides learn more about their community and their place within it. Guides find their voice, challenge themselves to make a difference and make brilliant friendships along the way.
Guides get to take part in more adventurous activities, learn leaderships skills and life skills. They can have their own camping adventure by achieving the Guide camp Permit. The world is there for them to explore!
Rainbows (5-7)
Rainbows learn and grow through a programme of age-appropriate activities, trips and adventures - both in their regular meetings and at special events.
They can work towards interest badges, where they can learn about everything from recycling to storytelling, and start their skills builder journey, developing core skills and trying new things like camping, leadership and first aid.
There are even awards they can earn, like the Rainbow Gold award and the six Theme awards, that show their commitment and encourage pride in their achievements.
Rainbows are supported by a group of highly trained, inspirational leaders to explore, challenge themselves and have fun.
Brownies (7-10)
In their regular meetings, girls will try new things – they can work in groups on skills builder activities like Live smart or Network and have fun all together with unit meeting activities.
They work towards interest badges in their own time, choosing topics and skills they are interested in and exploring everything from languages to space.
Brownies can feel proud of their achievements with awards for each theme and work towards the Brownie Gold award – the highest award a Brownie can get!
Guides (10-14)
You’ll never be stuck for something to do in Guides. Whether you want to dedicate your time to exploring the outdoors, really focus on your hobbies, or challenge yourself with something new, you’ll find something at Guides that suits you.
You can work towards interest badges – about photography, geocaching, human rights and more, develop life skills with skills builders and work hard to earn unique awards like the Commonwealth award, the Guide Gold award and the six Theme awards, which will really help you at school and later in life.
Rangers (14-18)
Rangers wear a brand new uniform, meet up regularly, have fun doing activities together and be recognised for their achievements with badges and awards. Whatever you want to do, Rangers offers a range of unique opportunities.
In Rangers you'll follow our programme of interest badges, skills builders and awards. You'll take part in amazing challenges, travel the world and develop skills across our six themes.
