Got a question about Senior Section uniform or badges? Some of the most frequently asked questions are answered here
| What can I wear as a Senior Section member? |
 |
The Senior Section range of clothing includes polo shirts, sweatshirt, cotton shirt, rugby shirt, a hooded jacket and and a baseball cap. In addition, if you are an Adult Leader, you may also wear Girlguiding UK adult wear. You can also find event T-shirts and clothing from the Training Centres.
It’s up to you to wear what you feel is appropriate for an activity and situation, for example you may want to wear your In4mer T-shirt when running a peer education session.
To see the range of clothing available check your most recent Guiding Essentials catalogue or visit www.girlguidingukshop.co.uk.

| Which promise badge do I wear? |
|
You wear the one which is most appropriate for you – the white promise badge is for Young Leaders, the aqua is for all Senior Section members, and the midnight blue one is for Leaders.
If you have just joined the Senior Section and have not renewed your Promise, you can wear your Guide Promise badge (if you have been a Guide) until you choose to make your Senior Section Promise.

Why do you get certificates and not badges for completing the Octants in Look Wider? |
|
Not all programme elements that are completed within guiding have a badge associated with them. In addition, many activities that are completed as part of Phase 3 of an Octant have their own award or qualification (and associated badge) thereby recognising the achievements of the participant.
Achieving Phase 3 in an Octant is quite often achieving a qualification or doing something quite big – and a badge just wouldn’t reflect the achievement of completing an Octant.
