Rangers

Rangers is for girls aged 14 to 18. They do really cool and exciting activities and adventures. More about the R angers can be found here. There is one Ranger group that meets at EMC on Fridays.

The programme for all the sections is based around the same six themes - Know myself, express myself, be well, have adventures take action and skills for my future. There are activities on each theme and badges that are completed in our unit meetings and interest badges completed at home. More information about the programme can be found here.

If your daughter is interested in joining one of the units, please sign up on the Girlguiding website here and a local volunteer will be in touch about spaces.

These units would not run without volunteers and we are always looking for new volunteers. There are many roles from occasionally helping, doing accounts to helping on a weekly basis. It is really rewarding and great fun. So, if you would like to know more about volunteering, please sign up on the Girlguiding website here and a local volunteer will be in touch.
