Commonwealth award
Saying goodbye to the Commonwealth award
The Commonwealth award was open to Guides aged 13 and over, Rangers, young leaders and adult members aged 18-25. The award was retired in 2024, and if you have already started your award, you have until 1 December 2025 to complete it.
Why has the award been retired?
It’s important to keep the youth awards that girls can do meaningful and fun! We asked girls (Guides, Rangers, young leaders) and young women between 18-30 which of the youth awards they would recommend and are most exciting to complete – the Commonwealth award had the lowest scores for both popularity and excitement.
In 2025 we're introducing a new award that has been chosen by girls, for girls. You’ll be able to find out more about this in the coming months.
