The Chief Guide's Challenge

The Chief Guide's Challenge is the second highest award that members can work towards in guiding. It's open to all Senior Section members aged 14-25.

To find out more about this challenge and Look Wider please refer to your Senior Section CD. This can be purchased from the online shop.

What is involved?

This award is for completion of phases 1 and 2 from all 8 octants of the Look Wider scheme.

Phase 1 gives you the opportunity to try three new activities. These can be completely new things or can expand on elements of an existing skill or hobby.

Phase 2 allows you to take things further by doing an activity for a minimum of 12 hours. It can be something you got a taste of in Phase 1 or something entirely different.

You have until your 26th birthday to complete the award.

Achieving the Chief Guide's Challenge

• The whole idea is for you to choose activities of interest to you, and everything must be done in your own leisure time (that is, out of school, college or work hours).
• Your Senior Section Leader is able to sign off each phase of the eight octants. If you are a Young Leader helping at a Brownie unit, your Unit Leader can sign them off as well.

Finished?

Once you have completed phases 1 and 2 of all 8 octants, arrange to meet with your Senior Section Leader or an appropriate Commissioner. She will confirm that you have completed the Award, contact the County Badge Secretary to obtain your badge and certificate, and arrange a presentation of the Award.

After your award is confirmed it's time to party! You can have your Award presented where you like, whether this be your unit meeting place or a County event. It is your Award so you get to choose.
